This research does not say anything about physiological factors causing gay tendencies or behaviors.

ASSOCIATION/CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION.

However, BEHAVIOR CHANGES THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE BRAIN. WE KNOW THAT FROM TONS OF STUDIES.

And, we also know from solid evidence that mothers who are super stressed during the first trimester of pregnancy while carrying male babies produce a significantly higher percentage (as a group) of homosexual sons.

However, the best estimate currently is that at most there is a 10-20% PREDISPOSITION TOWARD homosexuality that is hormonal/genetic.

Regardless of what you read by the propagandists, the huge percentage of it is learned behavior. Though I also lay plenty of it to demonic forces.

But you need not be overly cheeky, skeptical, ignorant, foolish about solid research. This is solid research. It just doesn't say what the author tried to make it say. It says nothing about causality.

Indeed. As Satinover says in The Gay Gene?:

I'll bet people who pray regularly have certain enlarged portions of their brains!

I'd like to see that study. I've read a number of studies and don't remember reading a study that supported the above.

However, the best estimate currently is that at most there is a 10-20% PREDISPOSITION TOWARD homosexuality that is hormonal/genetic.

What's the source for the above? I think this is an excellent summary of how it all happens: How Might Homosexuality Develop? Putting the Pieces Together.

Regardless of what you read by the propagandists, the huge percentage of it is learned behavior. Though I also lay plenty of it to demonic forces.

It's really all quite complicated. For males, a very high percentage is due to the father/son relationship. Many stories of former homosexuals bear this out. I've put together a list of testimonies here.
