They will come up with the result they want. It is obvious from the subjects of the study they are trying to create evidence to justify a finding rather than gather evidence and base a finding on what the evidence shows.
The "gay" gene that is the alleged culprit for this disease was found not be a sex-linked gene at all, but affected the ligaments and tendons that are found in and around the wrist area of the arm, causing the wrists of these victims to go "limp". </sarcasm)
If there is a flaw in a gene producing the abnormality of being "gay" then that means it could be subject to gene therapy!
I don't think gay activist are going to like that outcome.
Rosie O'Donnell is homosexual. She has a brother who is homosexual. So is it genetic? Maybe...........
Indeed. If they come to the conclusion that homosexuality is genetic, who is to say there isn't a genetic component to pedophilia? Doesn't mean they don't make choices about their behavior.
It's interesting that scientists say there is a genetic link for obesity, but we still expect people to control what they eat. Why do they not think it appropriate to expect people to control their sexual behavior?
Exactly! They just HAVE to find some kind of link to genetic queerness to validate the queer cause, no matter how much money it takes! Disgusting!
I would also be willing to bet that people who can afford it will have their unborn children tested. If the 'gene' for homosexuality is present, they will abort the child.
The law of unintended consequences.
Then you should pray for his recovery.
sounds like a casting call for gay porn.
Questions? Is there a violent gene? An anger gene? A greed gene? A selfish gene? It seems to me that one would need to prove two things, not one. Surely you would need to also prove that no negative, destructive behavior can ever have a genetic link. Otherwise you've proven nothing even if you find the much sought after genetic link.
Then how do you account for families that have both homosexual and heterosexual children? Rosie and bro were brought up in the same family, and therefore maybe the one parent's lack of love or attention could have been involved in their sexual orientation. When an offspring does not receive the love from a parent, then they have the tendency of seeking love from another person of that same sex to compensate for the lack from that parent. Rosie may not have received the love she desired from her mother, and bro might not have received love from his father, and so to fill that gap, they sought out people of the same sex to fulfill that love they didn't receive from that particular parent.
"... how do they separate the nature from the nurture ...
The only meaningful experimental design for this question is to study a random sample of identical twins who were raised in separate families.

I really think so much more research has to be done to determine if there is a genetic factor in determining sexuality. The two brothers I know who are gay are also twins--I am thinking the twin factor has something to do with both being gay rather than just being brothers.
Were they raised in the same household?
If hard science proves that sexuality is genetic or that genetics plays a definite role, I really would like to see how the gay community reacts to the possibilty of children being aborted because the "gay gene" showed up in testing and parents don't want a queer kid.
Thanks -looks like many links to good sound information countering homosexual genetic junk science thus far...
