Herman Cain asked someone to sho him the science to prove people are “born gay.”
There is none. Can you produce any? No.
IIRC, the best research, which follows identical twins separated at birth and their ultimate sexual behavior when grown, finds about a 50% correlation. If one is gay there is about a 50/50 chance the other will be too. One could find similar correlations regarding whether a person grows up to be an alcoholic. There is nature, nurture, and the mysterious thing sometimes called free will.
Your statement is not what I’ve seen attributed to Cain.
“Being gay is a choice . . .”
“. . . prove people are born gay.”
Those are two completely different issues. What the studies show(if they are accurate and can be trusted, you’re calling for the science, I’m not) is that genetics appears to play a role for men. It’s not the only factor, but it is *a* factor.
In his statement, it appears that genetics and random, non-self-selected experiences play *no* role in the determination. If one is to believe the studies, that is not the case. In your statement, genetics and all experiences may explain a person’s choice (and a very strong predisposition would make the choice very difficult). In his, only self-selected experiences explain it.
