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

"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 "folks" do you suppose they refer to here?
What is "it"?
What is "the argument"?
Is said argument only available in soundbites like this, or is there a compendium? How many arguments, more than one, two or three?
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?
Here's "the argument" again. Hm. Maybe "the argument" could be that this malady is something to be _cured_. Does the writer sound amenable to this avenue? The dear reader should realize that "orientation" implies a priori genetic link, rather than any sort of free will?
