New article on recent findings that support the theory that being gay is genetic.

By the way, just being cute with the subject title...not trying to imply anything about Tha_X...lol.

Thats fake... You choose to be gay.

Oh oh...

Meh, its obviousuly to do with genetics but I had been under the impression it was because of the make-up of your brain (and how it forms in the uterus)... Nothing ot do with chromosomes. But I can't remember where I got this from so it might just be some poo my brain made up.

Does that mean taht you can "pass down" being gay to your sons or daughters? Usrely that would mean people who are gay would be declining? Or am I way off

Humm...

I think I'll go and eat some worms

The article said only 1/4 of the women had that trait. Without launching into this topic too deeply, that certainly seems like weak support for the theory.

Why would it matter if ur genetically gay? Life goes on.

Homosexuality is found in a very wide variety of animals. Therefore it must be genetic. Animals have no reason to choose to be gay. Don't know about the validity or the article...statistically the reasearch is weak. It's quite possible that they're on to something, they just need to get some useful data on it.

Jacob, my jewish brother, you must not have such absolutist opinions. The world is a box full of crayons, not just a black one and a white one.
no doubt, some who feel less strongly towards women can make that choice, but for many, they have popped out that way.
consider this: did you choose to be straight?

^ Well said. Also, please note that Homosexuality is a tool of the international Zionist conspiracy and has been linked to innumerable "progressive", (i.e. LIBERAL/COMMUNISTIC) developments in Art and Literature...ever wonder why they call commies Pinko's??? Huh? Well? Didja?

Uhhh...is that an absolutist opinion?

Thats in worms and stuff like that where they have to be homos to reproduce.

Yes I do. Thats only a good question because you can also choose to be gay. You can have two choices.

Yeah for men I wonder why... Oh yeah to be a guy you need that chromosome...

Jacob for worms I thik it is called asexual reproduction.

Actually u cant really choose in my opinion. Most ppl in my opinion r born homosexual or not. I mean I dont tink it is that easy to go straight after being homosexual or vice versa.

Well most men I think aren't gay but there is a large population count of gay men in the US I would think. My mom knows one.

Who wouldn't want to choose be gay anyway, look at how well they are treated in society. Is being straight genetic, have there been any studies?

So if your Gay its not really your Fault ? Hey get back at me about that.

PS: have yall noticed that most gay men are like these built model types not guys that just cant get a girl

:o :o

...i seen a FAT gay man in chiang mai last night

Seriously? Stinky said you were taking smart pills. Perhaps you didn't read what he wrote, or perhaps you choose not to be gay and thus can confirm how every individual in the world feels about their sexuality.

Umm ya all missed a point.

Or in other words no conclusions may be drawn from the research. So they really shouldn't be talking about it yet. It is just one small bit of infomation that may have nothing to do with there being gay

@ Blitzer & Jacob worms are Hermaphodites. These means that they can't do it by themselves (asexual) but when then meet up with another worm both of them go away pregnant.

@Tally - I was commenting on your "absolutist opinion" when you said "you must not have...<whatever>", not Jacob's. XD

A joke I'm not getting, I suppose.

I just find it interesting that you all are saying "gay people this, gay people that." That fact is, they are not really that different from... Well, everbody. Besides some of thier "turn on" preferences and some religeous points of veiw, they are... Normal. Some have a bad temper, some are really nice, some just want to be left alone. Some are so stuck up about it that they talk about staight people the same way idiots talk about them. I have even heard an equivelent of "fag" spoken among some. Bellyhumpers, actually :P

Thank you. That is correct.
Furthermore, I wasn't talking about worms. I was talking about goats and fruit flies, in particular, but I know that they've found other sexually reproducing non-hermaphroditic animals that exibit homosexual behavior.

Yes, being straight is due to genetics. It has to be. Sex is a product of evolution. It cannot be attributed to anything other than genetics. What we're discussing is whether or not homosexuality is a concious choice or a genetic anomaly. It's obviously quite useless as far as survival of a species is concerned. But so are a lot of genetic illnesses. This sort of thing can be passed on by recessive genes and such.

Ok I was just saying that from my thoughts. It was a proud moment in my brain to concoct such an idea. Lol. TO me I think tat if u r born gay then there is not much u can do like I said. I dont think being gay is bad cause ppl say in my school "dude (yesh they still say dude) that is sooo gay!"
PS: I like PGG's post, and most ppl call each other fags as well. I mean what is wrong wit being gay? Of course this q may not be specifically answered considering I dont think any of us (not saying u do or dont) have ever tried being gay. The fact is that there is noting wron wit being gay justmeans u like the same sex as ur own.

Sorry to disabuse you of what appears to be a deeply held predjudice, Jake, but there is a growing body of peer reviewed, scientific evidence supporting a strong genetic component in homosexuality.

It's ignorance that is a choice.

@bloop
Oh, BTW, that stuff that happens in the uterus ,,,genetics, The uterus is the biological oven in which genetic cookies are baked - at least for most mammals. Some creatures do their cooking externally, aves, reptilla (some of which are were proto-aves), etc. While others, like some Annelida are sefl-rising.

Heh people. From my sources, homosexuality does have to do with some sort of genetics. People are all believed to be born gay, whereas they do not know this until some point in their life, where they are suddenly interested in their own sex. Now I don't know if this is correct, but I do think this is true like some of you.

-AO

I agree wit^ Of course this isnt a big issue to me since I don't care if it is genetic. (Youth wasted on the young and intelligence wasted on the intelligent.)

Every one starts off as a girl when inside the mother the Y chromosome dosnt take affect for a little while thats whuy both girls and boys have nipples :o

Being gay is a way of living that people choose. It's just that their brain wants something different.

You might take the time to proof read, pdiddy. You have written something that makes absolutely no sense - even disregarding the misspelling of their and the apostrophe missing from it's .

Firstly, differentiating between a person and his brain is, at the very least a false, dichotomy. Each of us is all of the constituate parts of which he is composed. People who believe that they are in conflict with their own brains are people suffering mental disorders - of which schizophrenia hebephrenia is but one example.

YOU IS YOU

You is yer brain - yer brain is you -
So is yer fingers, yer toes,
yer belly and nose -
All the other parts of you is you too.

Now if what you intended is "homosexuals often are in conflict with whatever lifestyle they have chosen" then you have touched upon an issue that plagues homosexuals both in and out of the closet. In the closet there is the conflict created by the necessity of keeping their sexual nature repressed. Out of the closet there is the external conflict pressed upon them by family, peers and societal predjudice.

As I have written before It is ignorance that is a choice

...granpa sluggy
