RE :”In new research and an analysis of more than two dozen earlier studies, Schumm found that 27 percent of lesbian parents’ children identified themselves as homosexual, and 19 percent of the children of gay men; by contrast, 5 to 10 percent of the children of heterosexual parents self-identify as homosexual. “

Is it possible that these homosexual couples are passing along this ‘gay’ gene when they reproduce, er when they adopt? Now I am really confused. How do same sex couples reproduce to pass on their gay genes that all liberals talk about?

Rented wombs, donated eggs and IVF.

Which seems to indicate that the *100% homosexual* home environment has a greater influence than the 50% gene pool.

Well, there is a science called epigenetics which proposes that life experiences can alter children's genes beyond the underlying DNA including those genes that control behavior and these changes can later be passed on physically to the future offspring of these children.

What sick freak would give children to homos to raise?? They need horse whipped!

The point is, this study suggests otherwise. If it supposedly only passed on genetically, there would be a low correlation in children adopted by same-sex couples, or at least close to even on par with those who are raised by heterosexual couples but turn out gay. It suggests environmental influences in the child’s upbringing, and not just pure genetics. The one case of reproduction, in which lesbians receive donated sperm, there would also likely be little correlation difference, because given the prevalence of homosexuality amongst the general public, it would likely be highly recessive genes.
