I know I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but, this research proves to me there is no such thing as a gay 'gene' or 'born gay'. I've said for years that being 'gay' is something that is taught. Somewhere, somehow someone has been an 'influence' on the person who has chosen a gay lifestyle. IMO this study proves it. Okay flame away.

Too obvious for even Captain Obvious.

Did they spend a billion dollars on this study?

Sounds suspiciously like “nurture,” not “nature”.

Danger, danger, politically incorrect statement!!!!

Seriously--this sentence should be reworded!

A tremendous amount of the activity that homosexual activists engage in should be seen as recruitment. The school curriculum stuff is NOT about toleranace or decreasing bullying. It’s about recruitment. The right to adopt is not about having a family. It’s about recuitment.

Like most everything human, I think it’s more of a gray area. Some kids are born with their brains mis-wired to be attracted to the wrong gender. Others are indoctrinated.

This is impossible! All the stories you see on 20/20 and such indicate that these kids always grow up straight, and that the absense of both a mother and father is inconsequential. And of course gays don’t recruit, and they’re never gay due to previous childhood abuse. Am I missing anything?

Why flame you for the truth? We’re not liberals here...

I would add that that “influence” resulting in a gay adult often involves childhood sexual abuse. That study would never be allowed to be done or released, but who doubts that conclusion?

As if they needed a study to figure that out.

And I suppose a kid growing up is more likely to adopt the “religion” of the parents as well.

DUH...

No flames here, you're right on.

If there were a gay gene they would be able to procreate based on Darwinism.

Actually one is gay only for the duration of the act itself; all the rest is stage dressing.

I think that we are all born unique. Some types are “prone” to gayness- i.e. passive or effiminate men and dominant powerful women.

If you’ve ever experienced youngsters you know that they show early on the personality traits which they’ll carry for life.

I think it is chemical. I say this because while I’m athletic and fairly aggressive, I’ve never had the “killer” instinct. After taking prednosone (steroids) for an injusry, I “got it.” I understood how the bad asses must feel. I felt like I could but my head through a wall- and I WANTED to!!

I think it works both ways. I have met gay men who told me that they were seduced when they were twelve or thirteen, and they regret it very much. There are other people—not many—whose brains and hormones are messed up.

There is a young person who works at a local store. This unfortunate boy/man/whatever has all the physical attributes of a woman: soft skin, no beard, no Adam’s apple, a woman’s hairline, wide hips, narrow rounded shoulders, and a woman’s voice. But he has male genitals. This is his body, and he can’t help it. It’s very sad. Of course he is gay and has been attracted to males since his earliest childhood, just as most of us are attracted to the opposite sex since childhood.

We all know that people are born with malfunctioning stomachs, or congenital defects of the heart, the liver, the kidneys; it should not be a stretch to think they might be born with a defect in the brain.

This is not a flame. In general I agree with you that gays are made, not born. And an effeminate appearance does not mean a male is gay; I have known delicate, lovely, fey-looking young men who were hell on the ladies and would fight to the last drop of blood for this country.

You hate-monger gay-bashing homophobe! How dare you state obvious conclusions which contradict settled 'facts'.

For the most part I agree but I do believe there is a tiny minority of gays who really are born that way. I doubt it’s genetic but there is definitely something different in their brains. My long lost friend who recently turned up and announced he was gay didn’t really surpise me at all.

Despite being gay I suspect that my friend would agree with the beliefe that gay “families” produce gay offspring through conditioning. He did state very clearly to me that he believes a child needs to grow up in a normal home with a male mother and a female father.
