Time for some chlorine in the gene pool.

"But, the cry of 'we cannot help what we are' implicitly acknowledges that even homosexuals themselves understand their behavior is immoral and that they are not willing to take responsibility for what they do. After all, why do you need to blame genetics for who you are if there is nothing wrong with your behavior?"—Tom Ambrose

Eh, ok so there is no "gay gene" as such. But if they're trying to pretend that that's the end of the project, WTF are they talking about? All the inheritable diseases are completely understood now, and cures are on the way? Bigger wieners for any man now? The basic assumption of this article is ridiculous.

The most primal of instincts is procreation. It follows that the most averse reaction is towards anything that would tend to eradicate the ability to procreate. Homosexuals cannot procreate and therefore are an evolutionary branch to be avoided. Society instinctively avoids them. Where is the fault in this logic?

It's either a self made or learned choice, a DNA/genetic defect, or a type of brain disorder.

This should put the pro-homo cheerleaders into one major league hissy fit!

Homosexuality has been practiced for thousands of years.

So has alcoholism, pedophilia, incest, bestiality etc., etc. That doesn't mean we should "celebrate" it, encourage it, or allow them to recruit candidates for those disorders among our children.

Law has been practiced for thousands of years as well. That doesn't make it right...

"Homosexuals cannot procreate and therefore are an evolutionary branch to be avoided."

Homosexuals sometimes do procreate. I personally know several. Other than that I agree with you. Homosexuality has the net effect of ending the genetic passing of a family line. This may be a natural way of removing a series of traits that are developing an unnatural path.

The pro-homo crowd has for years, decades maybe used the "it's genetics that made me do it" excuse to give them cover. Now they're in a quandry. When it becomes routine to correct genetic abnormalities, what set of heterosexual parents will not choose corrective therapy if they find their child has a "gay gene". If gay genetics are real, eventually, there will be no homosexuals left.

Skin color and other genetic traits can be traced through inheritance patterns and simple Mendelian genetics.

What a crock.

There is no simple 'Color Gene'.
If there were, simple Mendelian Genetics would only allow 3 possible shades of skin AA AB or BB.

Anyone can see that it's far more complex as is intelligence or height or sexuality.

This article shows the queers are a very small minority and yet they are heard all out of proportion to their numbers. Liberal Hollywood at work.

I have only recently started watching "Will & Grace" so I could understand what the flap is about. I sometimes find myself laughing at the antics of "in your face" stupid queer Jack and the quandries that Grace finds herself in and the Karen character can be very funny too but the constant queer dialogue is disgusting on the whole, I've finished my experiment and won't be watching it anymore.

This is a show with 4 major players, 2 of whom are openly queer and the 2 females are portrayed as being possibly bi.The tv industry would like for us to think that these 4 somewhat likable people are the norm in society.

The fact (for me) is that I have only ever known one admittedly queer person in my life. Maybe I've led a sheltered life. The one queer I have known, I met in A.A. and his homosexuality was more matter of fact than "in your face", he was personable but his lifestyle choice was queer in the classic sense of the word.

No thanks Hollywood, I'm not buying it.

From what I understand after reading this....while the human genome may very well be "mapped"....the vast majority of DNA is simply deemed "junk DNA" because we haven't figured out what part it plays in our makeup.

Seems like any conclusion to be drawn from this article either way should be put off until we find out what this "junk DNA" does.

I started to get a brain ache about half way through it but yes, I did.

On the whole, it was interesting and informative.

10% of homosexuals are born that way. The rest just get sucked into it.
