includes an admission that there is no "gay" gene

Sorry, Bob. That's not what the statement actually says.

But then, it's WND, so what do you expect?

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

It doesn't?

However, in the update: a brochure now called, "Answers to Your Questions for a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality," the APA's position changed.

The new statement says:

.. "Although there is no mention of the research that influenced this new position statement, it is clear that efforts to 'prove' that homosexuality is simply a biological fait accompli have failed," Byrd wrote. "The activist researchers themselves have reluctantly reached that conclusion. There is no gay gene. There is no simple biological pathway to homosexuality."

Actually, it does say that. They admit hey have not found a gay gene. I guess you read a different article.

Well, at least it's an improvement over what it used to say.

A few years ago, looking for educational books about genetics to give to my children, I noticed many stated that there is a gay gene, as if the issue was settled and there was no doubt. At least the new statement is more balanced.
