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.

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.

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.

You people actually read that whole article?

[taxed2death]

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.

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

Gay Gene????

Something sounds really odd about inter-generational passing of homosexual genes. Maybe they place them in a safe deposit box for their heirs but I'd rather not go there.

I would like to see an objective study of socially conservative and socially liberal parents to see if parenting has anything to do with this abnormality.

The problem with the whole "Gay Gene" Theory is that there would have to be a "Pedophile Gene" and a "Bisexual" gene as well, since all are out of the sexual norm, not to mention that there would have to be a "Heterosexual gene"! Sexuality is learned behavior. To the level of perversion it is taken is determined by ones dark side of their soul.

Send this to Leslie Stahl of 60 minutes fame on CBS.
Maybe she will do an honest report to follow up her made up report 3 weeks ago!

Only 1-2% of the POP is gay. We've led those with SSA down the wrong road for 30 years. Time to re-educate them to the fact EX_GAYS exist therefore their arguments for special rights is blown out of the water. Help them overcome not succumb.

[SkyPilot]

By trying to find a "gay gene", homosexuals wanted science to give them an excuse for their sins.

It won't work.

Ever.

Homosexuality and homosexual acts are clearly condemned by God.

Several years ago, I heard the brilliant Christian apologist, Dr. Ravi Zacharias debate a college student who angrily approached him and said that just as racism was terrible, so was the failure of Christians to abide by homosexual acts.

Ravi gently told the woman that race is a gift from God. He said:

"Madame, your race and mine is sacred, because it is derived from the Almighty. But sexuality is also sacred, and God has clearly defined that as well."

The woman expressed her uncontrollable rage at God, and then Ravi asked her:

"Ma'am, you previously said you are an atheist. Why do you express such anger at a God you do not believe exists?"

I've got it! Horizontal gene transfer. Yea, that's the ticket.

Isolation of a "gay gene" will spell the end of Roe and the dems.
