Just look for the gene that looks “fabulous”.

[Rurudyne]

Funny that the Left now no longer hold that your genes don’t determine your gender but The Gay must be genetic, huh?

[Da Coyote]

I was hoping that there was a “gay” gene. It would have been fun to see the next step, which would have been the California collection of cretin clowns (otherwise known as their legislature) quickly pass the “It’s a woman’s body, unless the fetus has a gay gene, then she cannot abort” law.

Just my nonscientific theory - one possibility is that gayness happens much like imprinting (baby chick and its mother). Or something happens to the infant, prior to birth or post birth, that affects how the child perceives procreation.

I don't think that there is a gene. Otherwise, after thousands of generations, the gay gene would have been discarded as being useless because it is not reinforced through procreation. Discarded because gayness means no or very few offspring.

Prior to birth: hormones?
Post birth: relationships and bonding with the mother? Relationships with the father?
Post birth: abuse (sexual and other).
Post birth: perversion of the individual because of the availability of extreme forms of sex — innocence lost. Much like a drug addict searching for the next high leads them to more extreme sexual situations including homosexuality.

You’re either XX or XY. There isn’t anything else.

One thing that's rarely mentioned in this DNA debate is that our genetic make-up might give ALL of us a predisposition to certain undesirable behaviors, but that doesn't give us an excuse for acting out on those tendencies, nor will society make excuses for us if we do. "But, judge, I was born with a bad temper, and that's why I beat my wife" is unlikely to be a successful defense in court.

In Christian theology, through the doctrine of "original sin" or some milder version of it, we are taught that we are born into a sinful world and are born with sinful tendencies which must be curbed through education and discipline, both self-discipline and the discipline enforced by parents and other authority figures. "God made me this way" is never an excuse - except, we are now told, with homosexuality.

Of course, once the LGBTQ movement gained legal status as a protected group, the argument eventually changed to the claim that gender is "fluid" and can change from week to week based on personal whim and choice, and that there are dozens of genders distinguished by nothing more than personal fiat, subjective belief, and arbitrary definitions. So much for "God made me this way."

Or would parents begin prenatal screening and start aborting gay babies?

Actually, there was a large Hispanic population in LA that did just that back around 2012. There were doctors giving genetic tests and claiming the child would be gay and the people were getting abortions. Just like sex-selective abortions in China (femicide?) there is a great dysfunction in the liberal side when these groups stat going down the path they are screaming for. Just as Title X athletes having to compete against (men) who think they are women.

What needs to be studied is whether homosexual activity cause epigenetic changes.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

It’s called the Sin gene.
Everybody has it...

‘’A resolute determination among earlier scientists’

The ‘studies’ were done by two researchers only. They said they arrived at their results independently. I saw them on TV in the early 90’s. They both appeared to be gay and I believe knew each other before conducting their studies. The news that there is no ‘gay gene’ was known very shortly after this proclamation there was a gay gene, but the libMedia ignored it. I have several friends with family members and very close friends who are gay/lesbian. They all absolutely believe in the gay gene. But those of us who have been paying attention are aware that it really is mostly nurture, not nature. I have known at least one child though who was obviously not going in the direction that was in line with his birth gender. I have no idea what his home life was like, but at age 5 he wasn’t even remotely interested in ‘boy things or boy activities’. This will not get the attention it should, but way too many people are bound to give excuses for aberrant behavior. So they will stick with old, faulty research to give them cover.

Why would a genetic trait exist (At least not for long!) that encourages the organism not to procreate?

Where’s the survival advantage?

[Ancesthntr]

How on Earth could there be a “gay gene?” How would it be passed down to the next generation? Even if until the last 50 years or so these people were “in the closet” and had a hetero marriage, if there was even a 1% lower reproduction rate among gays (as in for every 100 births to actual hetero couples there were only 99 to couples in which 1 or both were gay), over the course of 100 generations (roughly 2500 years) the number of people carrying these genes would decline by about 63%, and after 5000 years would decline by about 86.5%. In other words, even if the gene came about because of some other advantage and propagate itself widely, its effect upon reproduction would make it go extinct before very long.

Here’s my joke

“I’m tri- sexual !”

“ what’s that ? “

I’ll TRY anything !

Wooooooo. Hooooooooooo

The only thing Sillier is blaming your parents and your childhood for all of your troubles

[Boogieman]

“Gay” is a sexual perversion, and perversions are psychological phenomenon that are shaped by our experiences. Gays may not like it when you point out that they have a kink just like all the other kinks out there and it happens the same way, but that’s what it is.

[Rebelbase]

Were it to exist the left would weaponize it into aerosol and crop dust all of fly over country.
