I never bought the genetic explanation for homosexuality. Coach Johnson, my high school biology teacher, taught us that you're not likely to have any children if your parents didn't.
But the other night on talk radio I heard an interesting biological theory. It seems that women have something called microchrondia (thanks spell check) that only pass from mom to daughter, not father to son. I don't think coach Johnson knew about them. But these little critters don't like men. That's why most early miscarriages are males. They do something to make males gay. That's why gay males have far more aunts than uncles.
As illogical as the genetic theory seems, it seems even more impossible that any man would willingly prefer men to women.

That's mitochondria, and they are passed to male and female offspring equally from the mother. They are present in the egg, and the sperm doesn't have any.
They are the cells' powerplants and are not related to miscarriage or behavior.

Mitochondrial DNA (about 15% of your genome) is not just passed from mothers to daughters. It's passed from mother to all of her offspring, the father has nothing to do with this.
You see, mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) can replicate indepentently of the cell because they have their own DNA.
All cells have mitochondria except sperm cells. (If you'd like more info on this freepmail me, I did research for a paper on this recently) What's interesting is that your mitochondria is your mothers, and her's is her mother's. But, and I assume you are male, your children have their mother's mitochondria. It's extremely fascinating.
But I don't buy the theory that these critters don't like men. Had you no mitochondria, you wouldn't be alive to write that post.
I believe that mitochondrial DNA proved that that gal that was in the news not too long ago was a direct decendant from Thomas' Jefferson's affair with a slave girl.

you're not likely to have any children if your parents didn't. So I suppose infertility can't be genetic either, then?

nothing "makes" a male gay. 90% are raped or seduced in a moment of weakness or confusion. and then the Brainwashing and Lies begin. Thats why Homosexuals need to program children today to be more "open" to the Homo lifestyle.
They are complete hipocrites! They always say that they are born that way, and then say to anyone who is revolted by the idea, to "Try it, you might like it". according to them
you are born that way, so how could you try it ? and if you can try it and like it, then you can also revert back to normal sexuality and be straight again. But no they dont agree with that.!! any Gay who gets straight ( and there are
many) they say they are just denying what they really are!
Maybe they just detoxed on sin, and they want to start living again.

Makes sense to me.
