That’s not true. There are plenty of studies that show predisposition, including twin studies. What makes the activists upset is that it only accounts for a part of the selection, while an individual’s unique environment, including trauma and associations, has a greater effect.

It is wrong, however, to say there are no studies that show any role for genetic predisposition. You could probably find a genetic predisposition to like haggis, but the environment would have to be right to “trigger” the genes to activate.

Show me your genetic studies. There is no gay gene. Cain is right.
