No way they’d support efforts to isolate a ‘gay gene’. It’s the last thing in the WORLD that movement wants.
From that point forward, gay would be a genetic DEFECT. A sickness, for which there could be a cure, indeed through ‘gene therapy’.
You wonder why the Gates Foundation, and other big money groups don’t spend DIME ONE trying to find out? The entire liberal establishment would descend upon them like locusts spitting fire.
It would be the ultimate, ‘Gee, I told you so’ moment. It would also completely delegitimize psychology too. The head shrinkers quietly voted on whether it was a disease or normative, and narrowly voted on normative. It was literally a ‘Coke or Pepsi’ sort of debate, precisely because there is a virtual moratorium on research on the subject.
The gay mafia would be relegated to the rest of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) lamers begging for money to accommodate their affliction. Problem with that is you don’t need a wheel chair ramp to keep it in your trou and get gene therapy.
The irony is that all of this hysteria went into making AIDS a livable disease, which is perfect for everyone involved - the pharmas get to coin on keeping the sick from getting sicker, but not exactly well; the gays get to keep their mafia; the left gets to keep their money.
Everybody wins.
Although I am very skeptical about the existance of a “gay gene” if it did exist it would put the Left in a conundrum. In addition to the points you raise people will abort babies carrying the gene rather than carrying a gay child to term. The Left will want to call it genocide, but in doing so will be hoist on their own petard. On the whole the gay gene would be nothng but trouble for them.
