Another example of government funded homosexual activist wishful thinking.

"We've done a study of 1,000 gay brothers and found that brothers who are gay tend to be gay and have gay brothers as well"

Can gay incestuous twins get married in Massachussetts?

[kingattax]

Maybe the gene that contributes to sexual orientation does something else as well."

it would take at least 6 months to post all the one-liners for this crap

"Folks don't like this kind of research, that shows that sexual orientation is genetically based," he says. "It undermines the argument that it is a choice."

*****************

It doesn't undermine the fact that there is a choice, however. Homosexuals can still choose to be celibate.

Researchers are attempting to discover a genetic linkage to sexual orientation by studying one thousand pairs of gay brothers. This five-year study being conducted by researchers from Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Research Institute, Northwestern University and the University of Chicago will be the largest study of this kind and is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.

It doesn't matter if it is one pair or a thousand. The researchers will conclude only what they want to conclude.

It's also responsible for lisps, zig zag finger snaps and head bobs.

If they find a genetic link for sexual orientation, then the argument goes, you don't blame people because they have blue eyes, why would you blame them for their sexual orientation? This kind of research undermines the choice argument and that bothers some groups who are out to prove that sexual orientation is something one chooses.

Just recovering from lesbian brain theory -and now this on the horizon?

It is but more severely flawed research with only ambiguous results possible coming our way eventually to be AP headlined as definitive.

Only those subjectively driving an agenda and not objective scientists rush in like this putting the cart before the horse. Before one can objectively link anything to "orientation" one must first objectively be able to identify orientation...

[Juana la Loca]

My question is how do they separate the nature from the nurture in this scenario. Two brothers may have the same genetice code, but they also share the same environmental forces that might steer them towards homosexuality.

[longtermmemmory]

IOW they are already assuming the end result and thus have tained the study.

This is bogus even before it starts. It must be in anticipation of another round of homosexual based marriage votes.

Next we have the FR gene.

Entire Department of Health and Human Services could be scrapped as far as I am concerned.

Scientists want to get into gay brothers genes?........

[Free ThinkerNY]

While they're at it, they need to do a new study of Gay Siamese twins. The Ben Dover Institute conducted one many years ago. It was funded by Doublemint Gum.

[isthisnickcool]

Hmm, then is this is based on genetic makeup why not include the father? Or the mother for that matter and see if she has the hots for the same sex?

Or, better yet, just study the entire family and calculate if more than one family member enjoys ingesting feces.

[MEGoody]

Researchers are attempting to discover a genetic linkage to sexual orientation by studying one thousand pairs of gay brothers.

I notice they aren't talking about the sets of twins where one is a homosexual and the other isn't. Can you say 'agenda driven study'?

[Antoninus]

"Folks don't like this kind of research, that shows that sexual orientation is genetically based," he says. "It undermines the argument that it is a choice."

What's next, the great search for the "adultery gene"?

"See, Honey? I couldn't help myself! It's hereditary!"

[Jaded]

We couldn't prove the results we wanted so we need more people to get the results we still won't get?

[stylin19a]

Wouldn't they be better served to find brothers where one is happy and the other is not ?

[wolfcreek]

Unless they're trying to find a way to 'repair' this gene, I don't see the point.
