I wish that someone would discovery a homosexuality gene. When women started aborting babies because they have it, it would cause liberals heads to explode.

Jordache? Levis?
Definitely not Wrangler!
not to be rude
but isn’t there a steady-state for other things that would be classified as birth defects?....cleft palate, clubfoot, mental disorders, blindness, deafness?
How do the genes get perpetuated?
Alcoholism is well studied. There is a clear genetic factor. In some people, it is determinative; these folks are drunks from the first drink. In most folks, it's more complicated but the genetic predisposition is clearly important. And some people can drink like a fish their entire life without a problem. These tend to be the people who insist that alcoholism is entirely a matter of character.
No credible scientific study has established a genetic cause for homosexuality. The base premise of this thesis is corrupt.
With all the work being done on genetics, we should be able to cure this defect. How much is the U.S. government giving researchers to correct this gene that leads to a shorter life span than any major disease?
I think some mental disorders have some sort of genetic predisposition component as well. It wouldn’t shock me that there are absolutely some sort of predisposition component with homosexuality.

“Around half of all heterosexual men and women potentially carry so-called homosexuality genes that are passed on from one generation to the next.
Wild speculation! ‘Around half’ - Around Half?! (more guesswork) ‘potentially’ - (potentially? which tells us nothing) - carry ‘so-called’ -( so-called? think about it! ) ‘homosexuality genes’ - (homosexuality genes do NOT exist) that are passed on from one generation to the next.
Exhausting read, a sophomoric attempt to define something that only exists in the realm of leftist commie snowflakes - the failure to see reality is becoming pandemic in our lost world. Very sad.
Based on a study of 30,000 at A&M the number is 2.3 % which is about the number all other smaller studies conclude.
I’m not making an argument here, just facts. It’s 2.3 percent, not 10 percent as they’d like us to believe. If you analyse the political influence of this 2.3 percent it’s pretty amazing.
I’ve looked at some numbers, maybe the same that this person did. Allowing that some people experiment, the percentage looks like 4 percent. That’s 1 out of 8. If homosexuality were the result, exactly, of 3 pairs of genes, that would be about right.
But, I think it’s not exactly genetic. Maybe the genetics give you a “pre-disposition.” Consider left-handedness. Nobody is strongly left-handed. Some people are weakly left-handed, some ambidextrous, some weakly right-handed, and some strongly right-handed.
The strongly right-handed are the only one who can say they were born that way. All the others can, with training, be left- or right-handed, or ambidextrous.
Nobody would ever think of hetero-aversion therapy. For the strongly heterosexual, that would be ridiculous. But, gay-aversion therapy is out there, and it works, which is why there’s opposition to it.
As for the genetic research (using identical and non-identical twins, and non-twin siblings), I am afraid that the evidence isn’t clear. The people in the area come to different conclusions.
Based on the crap my wife watches on TV, it it must be 50%, at least. Most every show has a homo in it somewhere.
Nor Sears “tuff skins”. Unwashed raw denim, hard as a rock, and likely to cause exceptional chafing until broken in. Remember those? I do. (shudder)

Apparently, the original meaning of that word referred to an unappetizing mixture of drinks of opposing flavors, usually with lots of froth and including beer (e.g. beer with milk, beer with wine).
:-) Yep!
Utter BS. It is a learned behavior.
The discovery of transgender genes?
Pedophile genes?
Barf.
All hell will break loose in the Lib community when families get their unborn children tested for the “gay” gene. If positive, the abortionist will be the next stop.
Confucian system - as long as you have sons to carry on the line, you’re welcome to boys and men
Islam - pederasty is fine, as long as you don’t do it with men, and make sure you make some sons to continue the line
Greeks - adult male mentors and &*?# teenaged boy, stops when he’s a man, minor obligation to also make children
Romans - as long as the citizen is the penetrator, it doesn’t matter who he penetrates, adult or child, male or female, as long as he doesn’t rape another citizen’s child; obligation to make at least one heir
So homosexuality wouldn’t be bred out of these societies as the men were pressured to make at least one legitimate child. The only difference would be the truly heterosexual men more likely making more children, but population control to just the kids you wanted prevented the baby boom Christianity did by saying ALL the kids lived.
2% cited is the long observed rate of homosexuality.
However, when you add other unnatural deviant sexuality behaviors, LGBTQ advocates claim their 5+% block of the population is oppressed by we “Cis” gendered “norms”.
I personally am Sick of hearing about homosexuality, Trans- crap, night and day Everywhere.
Homosexuals have psychological issues coping with the fact they are not normal to be engaged in behaviors that are not natural or accepted.
As a result, many of them spend their lives in self-loathing and dillusionally deflect their “problem” as being the natural world’s fault for never loving them enough or accepting their deviant behaviors.
It is sickening curse on our culture and future.
