At least in men, homosexuality may be a function of genetics, according to a study of more than 400 pairs of gay brothers. The research, published yesterday (November 18) in Psychological Medicine, confirms the role of a stretch of the X chromosome in determining sexual preference in men, a finding first suggested more than 20 years ago. Geneticist Dean Hamer, scientist emeritus at the National Institutes of Health, published a study in 1993 that proposed that Xq28, a region of the X chromosome, might play a role in determining whether a man was gay. “When you first find something out of the entire genome, you’re always wondering if it was just by chance,” Hamer told Science of the new study, adding that the research “clarifies the matter absolutely.”

Pathetic. Just accept that you're not a true human and going to burn in hell.

If you can identify it, you can eliminate it.

no no no, gayness is just a sign that you're weak in your religion and the devil has gotten to you and made you a sinner. There is no gay gene. Thee gays just need to pray more. Same with the scientists who did this

I always thought they were missing a tendon in the wrist.

The article has no bias, or they found 800 men practicing incest?

"May be"? Of course it fricking is genetic. You think gay penguins honestly just spontaneously start preferring penguin dick to penguin pussy? frick no! A certain percentage of all animal populations are gay.

bullshite
I specifically remember the day that I chose to be straight. I sat down with pen and paper and listed the pros and cons of each.

Doesn't matter. Jesus wrote in the Bible that he loves everybody no matter what...unless you are gay. Well...two hot chicks making out is ok.

Can you find a link to the study doesn't require to pay to read it. I don't read the opinion pieces based on the title of a study unless I read the study's paper first.
Also how can homsexuality be a genetic deviation from the norm and not be a disease? Is it now acceptable to abort a baby because it has the gay gene?
