Your information is from the 90's and it all said there is no conclusive evidence at that time that supports the theory that homosexuality is genetic. Number one, it would be prudent to use information relative to today. The evidence provided in this article were from studies conducted over 10 years ago! Not only does that make this dated, it does not at any time validate the claim that gay marriage is a choice. Non-conclusive evidence at the time means that in the future, proof may be provided which supports genetics being a factor in homosexuality. There is no definitive evidence here.
Studies during 2000 done on identical twins where one sibling is homosexual have a high chance of the other sibling also being homosexual. Fraternal twins (non-identical) were discovered to have a lower chance of both siblings being homosexual if one is a homosexual. That right there may not be conclusive evidence, but it does in the very least say that there is no evidence that affirmatively supports that there is absolutely no genetic connection in homosexuality.

if the evidence were conclusive this would be news, not opinion

You still need evidence that is relevant to support your opinion and persuade people to agree with your views. Duh. That's what debating is all about and opinion writing is similar.

Wow this is bad science/logic.

How is being gay a choice if it is then i guess people chose to be straight then.

If I had the slightest chance of choosing I would choose to be hetro the little wife and kids package but I don't have that chance no matter what the author says!
Sorry to say but this blog is kinda funny and pathetic at the same time and is assuming things are one way because it's not proven to be the other. Why not prove its not genetic? and if you cant then it is genetic right? hehe doesn't work that way, so if you don't believe me when I say I would chose differently then we have to settle for unknown.

My brother was gay (he passed away in 1998 on his 21st birthday from a heart condition) and I would just like to comment that I think some people do choose to be gay and others are born that way. I mean when he was 3 years old he was doing feminine things that came so natural to him, it was obviously not a choice. My parents tried so many ways to get him to do heterosexual "guy" stuff but it wouldn't stick. Sports, girls, you name it. He was even sexually active with a girl to try and change his sexuality but it felt wrong. In his later years he actually said he wished he wasn't born gay and that he felt it was a birth defect. That, to me is so sad because he was treated unfairly by giving in to being himself. He wasn't choosing to do something wrong or gross to piss off society.

I am gay, and let me tell you, it has not been easy! Being gay is not a choice!!!! Why would anyone choose to be gay and go through all of the termoil that we go through?! I have been disowned by everyone in my family except my brother and I was teased and beaten up in school! If I wasn't born gay then why am I not straight? Why would I volentarily put myself through all of the discrimination and pain if I could just flip flop between being gay and straight?

I would have to agree with Lisa. My girlfriend is gay and has said that she has always been into girls, never been sexually attracted to men. But me on the other hand, have always been with men. But I have always thought about being with a woman. So was I born bi?

Well I think I agree. Im 16 and I KNOW I was born gay.
I think some people chose to be gay and some are born that way. My friend is straight and he says he can'tfind love with any girl,so he tried guys and he says he like it alot better. His boyfriend makes him feel wanted and loved. In the other hand me,I tried being with girls and I jsut can't I tried it alot of times, but now I found theperfect guy and he makes me happy. Dont you think if I was straight and chose to stay straight I would find love with a girl. Like duhh I was meant to be with a man not a woman.

Yes being straight is a choice also, I chose to not fuck hairy asses BECAUSE ITS WRONG. A pussy is served for it

i do agree that it is choice, though there is no scientific proof, its how a person is raised.it depends on the life someone has or who the person is.You don't come out thinking oh i like guys, cause one you don't know anything, so i think its something you either grow up to be by the choices you make or the lifestyle you live. cause me i've never consider girls cause i thought nothing of it, i've always liked guys, but when i hit highschool i still liked guys more but i noticed how i enjoyed girls so i think its more of choice cause i definitely choosed to like girls i wont say why though.

I don't believe there is anyone born with gender preference. And I mean this for both gay and straight people before you start this whole when did you choose to be straight argument. What you like and don't like can be a subconscious decision not the type of decision people act like you do like picking out what you are going to eat for dinner. The human mind is a complex thing why is that so hard to consider as well?

"In recent years, the question has been applied to whether being gay is genetic or a choice. It is not a light topic."

Yes it is. Who cares whether gays are that way by choice or design? If you're gay, you're gay. That is to say- you engage in a sexual preference involving consenting adults that will never harm anyone. It doesn't matter how gays got that way because they are entitled to the same freedom of choice whether they were born gay, chose to be gay, or had their gayness arise hand in hand with their sexual maturity.

What an awesome article! You must have spent a lot of time and effort on it-needless to say, awesome job!

There are a cases, when it putted from the birth, and there some cases, when it comes occasionally, for instance, when some man want to find some specific feelings in sexual life, but, principally, he's not a gay...

It very difficult to imagine the man, who was born like a normal, and then he became the gay. I mean, at first he loved the women, and then he change his sympathy to men.

It's real simple to understand if you look at it from a non-religous point of view. If evolution is what we've gone through, and man is constantly evolving, then it would be impossible for homosexual behavior to be genetic. Homosexuality trends towards extinction which goes against the evolutionary process...period! That being said, if they do find a genetic link between homosexuals (which I'm betting they never will) it would be a genetic defect based on the fact that it goes against man's constant evolution. Homosexuals are a product of there enviroment and they choose to be the way they are. Just stop listening to all the crap about people being born gay and open your eyes to facts. The fact is that no evidence has been found to support homosexuality being anything other than a choice.
