So, you are ready to prove the nonexistence of a gene?

Can't prove a negative and there's no need. Logic is all that is necessary. To believe there is such a gene you must also believe that men who are attracted sexually to underdeveloped humans (i.e. pedophiles) also have a gene that makes them so. Is that what you believe?

What you are suggesting is that human beings have some magic "spark" gene that causes attractions to others with certain physical characteristics, in which case the onus is upon YOU to prove the existence of such.

Attractions are purely mental exercises triggered by life experiences. There's nothing genetic about it.

Can't prove a negative, genius. The burden of proof falls entirely on those claiming that there is a "gay gene."
