Biology and Sexual Orientation
What's this prove? click here to read the entire article on whether or not homosexuals are "born that way."
You guessed it; there is still no consensus among scientists.
In fact, if you don't want to read the entire article, although I encourage you to as it's fasinating, here's the conclusion made by Simon LaVay when he studied brain structures:
"It's important to stress what I didn't find. I did not prove that homosexuality is genetic, or find a genetic cause for being gay. I didn't show that gay men are born that way, the most common mistake people make in interpreting my work. Nor did I locate a gay center in the brain. ... Since I look at adult brains, we don't know if the differences I found were there at birth or if they appeared later."
According to these researchers:
"Most scientists agree that it is unlikely that there is a single "gay gene" that determines something as complex as a homosexual orientation, and that it is more likely to be the result of an interaction of genetic, biological and environment factors."
Don't get mad at me, I'm just a messenger of something I found while searching the internet.
For obvious reasons, many homosexuals, mostly to advance their cause, use the argument that they were "born that way" as it's more "acceptable" to them and indicates that they have no control over their sexual orientation so they should be allowed to marry, etc. or enter into a civil union as has just been approved by Gov. Lynch here in NH.
While this research is certainly not conclusive and further research is ongoing, it does make a good case for homosexuality not being a civil rights issue as is being born black, hispanic, female, etc...something well-proven that no one has any control over.
