It's possible, said University of Toronto psychology professor Ray Blanchard and others, that hormonal changes which occur in a mother's immune system after having several male children might affect a later-born son and somehow predispose him to homosexuality.

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.

Ping.

What happened to the research that was being done on "abnormalities" in the hypothalamus, that were found in "Gay" people?

IIRC this theory was mentioned in "Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters", didn't seem that far of a stretch for a theory. Maybe I should dig the book up and read it again, it's been a couple of years.

Perhaps among them, idolizing the older brother(s)

Then again you have situations like mine. Where my older brother was neglected by my dad and ended up sexually diseased (homosexual), while I got dads attention and turned out fine.

It is somewhat of a fallacy to say that homosexuality is a choice. While participating in homosexual behavior is entirely a choice, the desire to participate in that behavior is the result of a mental disease brought about by trauma.

The vast majority of (male) sodomites were either sexually or mentally abused or had an absent or insufficeinet relationship with their father or were subject to relentless teasing by their peers during the formative years.

The end result is a mentally diseased (wounded) person thinking that they desire same-sex sex when really they just desire a normal life
