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

I didn’t say there was *a* gene. I said that, according to most scientific studies of the issue, there is an *inherited propensity*. Good grief, there is an inherited propensity to be an alcoholic. I’m not saying being an alcoholic is okay because one has a genetic predisposition. It’s a treatable disease.
Stop setting up a strawman and then asking me to disprove what I’m not even claiming is true.
BTW, if you read my post above, Cain was not arguing what you are arguing: that people aren’t born that way. He was arguing that it is a choice.
I am saying that, according to the research I’ve already cited, it is only *partially* a choice. Genetic predisposition, non-self-selected (almost always negative) experiences, selected and positively reinforced choices all play a role. The one item that appears to explain the most is non-self-selected, negative experiences. That would mean that the “born that way” and the “it’s a choice” crowd are both wrong.
