New Study Suggests Genetic Link To Homosexuality

A study of hundreds of brothers has added to evidence that there is a genetic component in determining who men are s-xually attracted to, but makes clear that there is more to it than a “gay geneâ€

As with so many aspects of human behavior, s-xuality has long been subject to a “nature versus nurture†debate, but the idea that people who are attracted to the same-s-x are born this way has resonated with LGBT activists and allies. When framed this way, discriminating against them for something beyond their control is similar to discriminating against someone for their gender or the color of their skin. While this makes logical sense, its validity has been occasionally challenged.

I thought it was just kind of accepted being gay is a genetic mutation caused by hormones you're exposed to in the womb? That's why the more children you have, the latter are more likely to be gay than your first as your body's hormones have changed over time?

 

I'm glad there's still research going on though, maybe if we can understand why people are gay, people can learn to accept that it's by no way a choice.

I heard too much about how it's considered as a gen related disease. That's only good for the "it's not the choice i was btw" part.

The first sentence clearly says:

 

 makes clear that there is more to it than a “gay geneâ€
