Hmmm..., that's a queer answer if you ask me....
If it is born (which it's not) look for the entitlements to be demanded. It's the key to hand outs and perceved respect.
It's also possible, and more probable, that the oldest son is the one who gets the attention lavished on him by his father. By the time more sons are born, the attention gets diminished and the younger sons who require love and attention from their father, but don't receive it, seek the attention in other forms.
That's the whole problem with these studies. There's always another rational explanation on the other (nurture) side of the equation. In order to come to some kind of determination that changes in the mother's immune system somehow causes her son to be sexually attracted to someone of the same sex would take a whole heap of pretzel logic.
They should have asked Kerry if he was born a horses' ass or did he just become one by choice.
They obviously didn't include an acquaintence of mine in their study. Married at the age of twentyfive he had three children before he 'discovered' he was gay.
I'm still awaiting the discovery of the defective mutant gene that causes Democratism.
So what does science say?
How about, what does God say?
I don't think science has been able to establish the origins of fornication, idolatry, adultery, or covetousness (etc.) either.
And what of Darwin -evolution theory, if believed, based upon lack of procreative ability -would suggest genetic homosexual origin a disordered mutation...
I say we look into it
Homosexual advocates are persistent...
I wonder if homosexuality is tied in with hermaphrodites and other freakish birth defects.
Homosexuality could also be the way nature is culling the misfits out of the gene pool. Their sexual orientation keeps them from reproducing.
One word: prison. That's not choice, but it is often ignored in the argument.
There are sexual predators that either force or manipulate their will upon the young, innocent, weak, confused, etc. It happens in prison and outside of prison, too.
Years of study have proven that a certain theologin from
Princeton named Hodge was correct when he said essentially
that Darwins theory of Evolution was a cloak for Darwins atheism.Science has never disproven Scripture--but has
confirmed the Biblical accounts on many occasions. When
Scripture declares homosexual behavior is "unnatural" it is just as much factual today as when the Apostle Paul said it.
True Science will Never prove homosexual behavior is not a
choice.But we live in an age when the apostate unbelievers
govern our education and society.
I.E. Experiencing a BAD personal wipe, or a wipe that has somehow gone nastily wrong can put human sexual proclivities into the proper frame of mind ..and.. Letting kids SEE what they are "wipeing" on themselves would probably cure any Man / Man, Woman / Woman confusions.. That is if it didn't ruin their attention to sex completely until later in life..
It also seems that this developmental process is mediated by stress - maternal, familial and societal. The higher the levels of stress, the more likely developmental abnormalities will appear. For example, it's been shown that in contained populations of mice, if the population grows beyond a certain size, the percentage of homosexual mice will rise.
The other factor is that even if there is a homosexual developmental abnormality, heterosexual behavior or 'lifestyle choice' is still very possible. In fact for years in most societies a large percentage of homosexuals chose a heterosexual life. Psychologically, this was a burden on them, but not having to face the societal consequences were deemed important enough to make the choice.
What has changed in our society is that the societal consequences have graduly faded away. This has emboldened developmentallly determined homosexuals to assert their right to live a homosexual lifestyle and even to declare it to be 'normal'.
Most societies in most times in history (there are exceptions - ancient Greece) have understood the need to sanction homosexual lifestyles. We have the 'luxury' of not doing that because not every man is needed to created bonded male groups for defense, etc.
That's completely untrue. Here's a collection of articles that debunk the "born that way" misinformation. Plus the tens of thousands of former homosexuals tell us homosexuals can change.

Homosexuality and Ex-Homosexuals
This happens in many cases before the child is six years old and can occur in an instant.
One of the more bizzare examples is that of the people in London who were very young when the London blitz was on in 1940 and observed the adults donning gas masks to protect against potential attacks. Ever since, they get sexual arousal from seeing someone in a gas mask.
This is the effect of "imprinting."
