This is going to make the LGBT crowd very unhappy (even though they knew this was the case from the start)…
From Daily Wire:
An unpublished UCLA study challenging the societal “born this way” dogma of homosexuality has already been gaining traction in the public media since its presentation at an annual scientific conference last week.
The twin study conducted at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, finds that homosexuality may be triggered by environmental factors after birth. The research uses an algorithm covering epigenetic markers from several genomic sites of 37 sets of identical male twins to predict homosexuality in males, with 70 percent accuracy, as presented at the American Society of Human Genetics 2015 Annual Meeting in Baltimore.
“The finding is highly controversial because it suggests that some men are not born gay, but are turned homosexual by their surroundings,” Sarah Knapton of Telegraph suggested.
Wait a tick…
Does that mean that kids raised by gay parents or who have been unfortunately abused are more prone to becoming gay?
You don’t say?
I feel like conservatives have been saying this for years!
Does this prove beyond all reasonable doubt that gay people choose to be gay?
Yeah, it really does. And more likely than not, there will never be evidence of a gay gene (unless studies are highly falsified like they are with climate change analysis).
As we’ve known since the beginning of time, a baby boy or girl does not develop in the womb with a gene that tells them to be attracted to the opposite sex.
Why liberals still push the lie that people are “born this way” makes little sense, but because so many Americans are uninformed on the issues, they go along with whatever Hollywood celebrities and the mainstream media tell them to.
Sad.
Don’t even get me started on “transgender” BS.
Everything in life is a choice, people.
My grandfather was one of those guys, though bot the redwood type. He was about 5’9-10, ate like a horse and at 70 was still rock hard top to bottom. Most of his buds were around 6 foot. 6’3” being about the biggest. Not that thats small.
My grandmother had old newspaper pix of them loading pulp and log trucks by hand. Hardwood and soft. 4-5 cords a truck roughly in the old days. Several trucks a day. People should find an 8 foot maple log about a foot in diameter fresh cut sometime and see how many people it takes to lift it. They did that with a couple/three guys all day, 6 days a week.
Yes, I’m saying I don’t believe in SSA. I view it as doors that have already been opened to the detriment of the child. The result of years of counseling and seeing a lot of abuse, Stockholm type coercion, and brainwashing.
I don't think there is any "gay gene." But even if there were, your observation here seems both obvious and irrelevant. Obvious, because if you could hypothetically removed societal influence, people who weren't particularly attracted to procreative sex wouldn't do it, and they would die out in a generation.
But irrelevant, because there have never been human beings who lived in what is foolishly called a "state of nature", outside of a social context with all its cultural, economic, and psychological influences. Such influences have always operated to encourage man-woman bonding and family formation, because that is the foundation of human flourishing across the generations in every culture.
I know that you don’t believe there is a gay gene. I sure hope I didn’t imply otherwise. If so, please forgive that as poor communication on my part.
My point may be obvious but I don’t think it’s irrelevant. Those who push the mythical gay gene claim that homosexuality is genetic, is not a choice, and is not influenced by societal factors. Without societal influence, the mythical gay gene would cease to exist. They can’t logically claim that homosexuality is purely genetic because “pure genetics” wouldn’t allow it.
Homosexuality is actually a defect. It’s a congenital defect caused by conditions in the womb. There is such a thing as homosexuality in animals. But it has been eliminated in life stock because gay livestock is not cost effective. Theoretically, congenital homosexuality could be eliminated in one generation with a full spectrum of major and trace minerals, preferably chelated, consumed daily by expectant mothers. And as a side note other birth defects are eliminated in livestock and can be eliminated in humans by the same procedure.
It is the level of major and trace minerals in the womb that cause brain defects which in turn causes homosexuality. We’ve been able to eliminate 99% of “genetic” defects in livestock through their feed. We can do the same in people.
Awesome, Thank you.
OK, I get it. Thanks for the clarification.
Interesting. Are you in the livestock business? What minerals do you use?
I learned it from Joel Wallach, a veterinarian who did comparative pathology in the 70’s and went on to become a naturopathic doctor. His work in the 70’s focused on finding animals that could be used to predict environmental changes. He noticed from the autopsies on animals and humans that they seemed to get many diseases due to mineral and other nutrient deficiencies. He became that type of doctor because his own research into the congenital causes of disease. He found out that cystic fibrosis could be caused in monkeys by withholding selenium in the monkey’s diet. In fact zinc deficiency can also cause cystic fibrosis. Because this claim, he was fired from the NIH. So, he decided he would sell mineral supplements and educate the public. His supplements are in the form of plant-derived colloids which are more than 90% absorbable. Of course, you can use chelated minerals from a variety of companies and still be way ahead of those that think they can get all their mineral nutrition from food.
I wonder if autism also is affected by maternal nutrition?
Thank you for this info. It is of great interest to me. Would you happen to know if Wallach has anything usable for conditions like kidney-stone formation, or inflammatory diseases like RA? (I have a lively personal interest in kidney stones and rheumatoid.)
There’s a woman named Hulda Clark who has a method of flushing out kidney stones. You might want to take a few days off to implement and you’ll need a strong stomach. As far as the RA, I’m not sure but I would take my minerals and try a good cleanse of the liver and kidneys.

I agree with you, xzins.
No, really? I never would have guessed.

Whoops, there it is again. Well, thanks for pointing that out to yourself again. The rest of us already knew.
Not only are you not religious, you're no statistician, and can't be bothered to Google, either. Persistent exclusive homosexual/lesbian behavior in full adulthood? Around 2% of the population. Many who try it out in adolescence leave it alone after making the commonsense realization that death-defying thrill-seeking is not a really effective antidote to boredom, anger at parents, anxiety, depression or failing to feel cool enough.
