It may be something else, anomalies in the hormonal bath the fetus is subjected to in the womb. Examples:
1. Girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. These girls have a much higher incidence of lesbianism, that the general female population. This is preseumably because of the exposure to testosterone during critical periods of fetal development.
2. There have been twin studies of male homosexual. Even when the boys are raised apart, there is an increased incidence of homosexuality in the other twin. This is presumably because of anomalies in the exposure to testosterone in the womb. Some researchers have even postulated the reason is additional exposure to testosterone in the womb, over the general male population. More research needs to be done.
Genetics my a$$.
"...so it's not surprising that we found several DNA regions involved in its expression."
Golly did you? Are there?
Men discussing DNA and it's meaning and implications is a bit like a couple of mice coming upon schematics for Apollo 11. "Several regions involved in its expression" indeed! (And it's "not surprising" to boot!)
undermines commonly held view? by who? only homoadvocates.
SERIOUS science has never supported the "born homosexual" view. They might as well say they undermine the commonly held view that people who go out friday nights are "born to party."
How did this study sneak out? The we are family foundation has their pro-homo video tape and all the other pro-homo MSM propaganda that is comming out now. (particularly the previous BS gene study and the other study about using gene manipulation to make homos have "natural" children.)
Not only were earlier studies crappy science and biased to favor a pre-determined conclusion, they are also looking in the wrong place. When they figure out why some folks prefer chocolate over vanilla, then they'll be able to figure out the gay thing. Can I get a grant over here please?
