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.

The 9p21 gene is the heart attack gene. You carry this and you have agreater propensity, risk to develope coronary artery disease.

The KIF6 gene is another coronary artery disease marker, and tells us if a patient will benefit from Statin therapy.

Please give us the Gay gene. Give us the location and every thing else you can tell us about it.

Bottom line, there is NO gay gene. Homosexuality is probably a disease similar to other addictive disorders.
