There Is No ‘Gay Gene,’ Comprehensive Scientific Study Finds

BY MATT MARGOLIS AUGUST 29, 2019

FTA:
Recent polls have shown that most Americans believe that homosexuals are “born that way” rather than become gay as the result of environmental factors. In fact, perpetuating the belief that sexual orientation is innate has been crucial to the gay rights movement. According to the most recent Gallup Poll on the subject, 88 percent of people who believe homosexuals are “born that way” support the legality of same-sex marriage, while only 39 percent of those who believe homosexuality is the result of environmental factors support the legality of same-sex marriage.

The research, which analyzed data on DNA and sexual experiences from almost half a million people, found there are thousands of genetic variants linked to same-sex sexual behavior, most with very small effects.

Good morning, gub!!!!

We all knew that there is “no gay gene” but the brainwashing has been furious so.....

Speaking of someone who isn’t “gay”, using the word like it used to be used, but very angry....

“’No one is entitled to abuse’: AOC blasts critics who say she’s violating the First Amendment by blocking people on Twitter”

FTA: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended her right to block Twitter users who harass her after Columbia University’s Knight First Amendment Institute sent her a letter deeming the action unconstitutional.

The institute wrote a letter Wednesday to the New York congresswoman “in the hope of dissuading” her from blocking Twitter users, which the organization says violates the First Amendment because her @AOC Twitter account is a “public forum.”

“Many of your tweets staking out positions on issues such as immigration, the environment, and impeachment have made headline news,” the letter reads. “The @AOC account is important to you as a legislator, to your constituents, and to others who seek to understand and influence your legislative decisions and priorities.”

Five of the genetic markers were "significantly" associated with same-sex behavior, the researchers said, but even these are far from being predictive of a person's sexual preferences.

"We scanned the entire human genome and found a handful - five to be precise - of locations that are clearly associated with whether a person reports in engaging in same-sex sexual behavior," said Andrea Ganna, a biologist at the Institute of Molecular Medicine in Finland who co-led the research.


no mention of how many displayed the genetic markers yet did not have same-sex behavbior
