Many behaviors may indeed have a genetic component - left-handedness, obesity, alcoholism, etc. Some behaviors are discouraged, others tolerated. Some are deemed to be health risks.

Let's say there's a "gay gene." That does not necessarily answer the many questions currently being discussed. Not by a longshot.

AMEN!!!! I believe if there's a gay gene there's most likely a serial killer or pedophile gene as well. Now I'm not saying being gay is the same as a serial killer, but you see the spectrum and the slippery slope. Next will be beastiality is legal, then sex with minors--after all they were born that way.

But as the article says there's not really one gene that "forces" you to be gay, but it's a combination of environment and genetics. And in today's environment we are encouraging people to be gay, so more and more with the gene will become gay. Will the same happen with other behaviors that are seen as reprehensible today? Slippery slope applies here big-time.
