Manbearping!
I have heard about the study of twins ad infinitum, and this is the first refutation of that study by an actual Scientist

The heritability estimates for homosexuality is substantially lower than General Cognitive Ability, Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Openness, Aggression and Traditionalism! That says more than most realize.

If your left with someone who molests you and plays on the temptation factor enough to make you think it's ok, you will end up thinking you are really a homo. Temptation is a tool of the Devil that can turn into anything more complicated and disgusting than anyone can imagine.

Another inconvenient truth for the left.

However, the likelihood that the identical twin of a homosexual male will also be gay is about 20% (compared with 2-4 percent of males in the general population), indicating that sexual orientation is genetically influenced but not hardwired by DNA, and that whatever genes are involved represent predispositions, not predeterminations This is a false conclusion in and of itself, the higher incidence could just as likely be due to environmental influences (which are highly shared among identical twins during their formative years, as genetic) To say this indicates defacto a genetic influence is an utterly false assumption.
Homosexuality, particularly male homosexuality is not a birth defect, its a mental disorder.

If you're left with someone who molests you and plays on the temptation factor enough to make you think it's ok, you will end up thinking you are really a homo. When I first started studying this subject (years ago) I didn't think that was true. But after reading story after story after story from ex-gays, I have come to the conclusion, well I came to it a long time ago, that some homosexuals know exactly how to prey on vulnerable boys.

Some people are born gay. We've all met them. That's just the way it is.Some people learn to be gay. We've all met them. That's just the way it is.

Another inconvenient truth for the left. Indeed. When discussing the facts of homosexuals, homosexuality and the homosexual agenda pushed by radicals, the left have nothing to stand on.

They may be referring to linkage and association. Checkout the summary to Satinover's The Gay Gene?.

Some people are born gay. We've all met them. That's just the way it is. Yet not a single credible scientist agrees with the above statement. In fact science, including the posted article, is quite hostile to the born gay argument.
