For Those Who Think In Terms Of Gay Genes

For Those Who Think In Terms Of Gay Genes

Even the American Psychological Association, which is very pro-gay, is admitting that the gay gene claim isn't flying:
There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation.
By the way, I don't argue with the "little or no sense of choice." As a gay, politically conservative, competition shooter observed to me some years ago, "Why would anyone choose to be gay?"
