I don't believe people choose to be gay. The way i see it, just because there is no genetic indicator doesn't mean they were born that way or became that way as their brains developed. It does not have to be a environmental factor, which we know it isn't, due to the number of gays born in straight anti-gay households.
I also believe that one day we will find a biological / genetic link to homosexuality but it hasn't been found yet.
When seemingly every gay person says they knew at age 8-10 that they liked boys attraction wise then it seems to me they all were that way by age 10. Probably a combination of factors brought them to be gay, likely genetic and biological.
you're right , but we're getting there,enough for me say there is differently something to it.
In July 2010 a group of geneticists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science an Technology altered the sexual preferences of female mice by removing a single gene linked to reproductive behavior. Without the gene, the mice exhibited masculine sexual behavior and attraction toward urine of other female mice. Those mice who retained the gene fucose mutarotase (FucM) were attracted to male mice.
A recent study suggests linkage between a mother's genetic make-up and homosexuality of her sons.
Women have two X chromosomes, one of which is "switched off". The inactivation of the X chromosome occurs randomly throughout the embryo, resulting in cells that are mosaic with respect to which chromosome is active. In some cases though, it appears that this switching off can occur in a non-random fashion. Bocklandt et al. (2006) reported that, in mothers of homosexual men, the number of women with extreme skewing of X chromosome inactivation is significantly higher than in mothers without gay sons. Thirteen percent of mothers with one gay son, and 23% of mothers with two gay sons showed extreme skewing, compared to 4% percent of mothers without gay sons
but really, like i keep saying this argument is bull****, who cares why or how?
just accept them for who they are, this whole line of trying to understand the complete process of genetic human evolution to prove one way or another is just re****ed to begin with, we shouldn't even be having this conversation, this is like trying to find the "jew" gene to argue if they are legitimate people or not, total b.s. , we know gay has been around forever so it's not some genetic mutation that needs to be figured out and eradicated like Parkinsons. And since when have we made laws based on genetics? kind of f'd up if you ask me.
the only reason i even put any of this genetic b.s. up is to clear up a bit of ignorance and show you that gay isn't an invention of the last 30 years
,that gay has already been around for ages and you, yourself had the potential to be gay when your being developed in the womb.
i just don't see how this genetics stuff figures in to how we treat and deal with another human being that is different from us? if we changed the word gay in this conversation to black or blonde haired how would you feel about your stance on this?
