I am of the opinion that one’s sexuality is a complex interaction b/wn both genetic and environmental factors.

Some people assert that people are born ********** or heterosexual or somewhere in between.

Would someone kindly provide a reference to a highly regarded peer reviewed scientific journal article which suggests that human sexuality is purely determined by one’s genetics, i.e. that someone is “born ***?” I believe that there are certain genes that may predispose us to a given sexual orientation, but can someone please provide a link to an article which has identified such gene(s)?

    I have never found such an article, and the only thing which has been known to have anything to do with it is chemical trials on common house flies.

    But that’s just behavioural adjustment, for all we know the flies might be buggering one another thinking they’re reproducing.

    p.s; humans are not insects, either.

  2. Joanie says:

    I don’t have the evidence to back this up, but I believe sexual awareness, attractivity and identity are all predetermined at birth and none of them are as black and white as *** straight, male female (look around at the huge number of variations on theme) as we expect them to be. Which ever persona one is born with, it is then manipulated or nurtured by society to conform on not to conform and will or will not conform by degree of the strength of a persons individual identity given at birth and by God.

    Hormones and Chemicals play a large part of a persons personality. But so doesn’t something bigger then all of us. If we just relish in individual and social identities rather then try to explain, exploit or abolish them we can all live life learning about ourselves.

    in some cases, yes. other than that are the effects from growth and development.

    coz if there could be born normal people and born abnormal people,

    there could also be born straight people and born *** people.
    -resulted from certain part of hormones disorder, to say.

    I just googled “causes of homosexuality” and got 1,410,000 results.

    You may pick the explanation that best suits your preconceptions. I’m sure you’ll find one in all that.

    the *** of child determined by father’s sperm:
    And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female, (45) From a drop (of seed) when it is poured forth; (46)
    if anyone has question about relation of faith and life, please ask

  6. Patriarch Verlch says:

    Homosexuality is a choice, and encouraged by external factors.

    Our children are being taught *** *** ed, in first grade and they don’t even know what *** is.

    Homosexuality is promoted by the population control squad.

    And, why would God create in humans something He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for?

    You asked the question, don’t like it, read the Constitution, the law of the land. Freedom of Speech. This is my opinion under the US Constitution.

    hey,

    i read somewhere, aaaagesss ago. i think it was the BBC focus, science and technology magazine … It said something along the lines that 5% of population was ***…naturally (i think) and that it also occurs within birds and other species.
    So i guess some things are just inevitable. I’m not sure about it being genetic tho, it did say the *** birds (which they had seen) could have just been confused..? But they weren’t completely sure as to why either, just that it could also just be a natural example.
