Science STILL hasnt found a 'gay' gene


There's not a "gay gene". Humans, like most other animals, have a wide range of sexuality that exists as a spectrum, caused by a number of factors. The genetic component is not a single isolated gene, but spread out through the genome. There isn't a "gay gene" any more than there is an "IQ gene" or a "strait gene" or a "skin color gene". That isn't how genetics work. I don't understand what that is supposed to mean.

Ever looked intoepigenetics, You seem like someone who would enjoy learning about it. (assuming you don't already know)

If you're talking about my failed clickable links, copy-paste, I'm sure even with that soggy milk-soaked sponge of a brain you have you can manage that. If you're talking about the research, nothing is ever definitive. That's what science is about. Unlike other systems of thought it doesn't close doors to new evidence so it never says things are absolute. All there is is mounting support for a theory. Not that I believe you read or understood any of that.

Science STILL hasnt found a 'gay' gene


And?
There is literally no evidence of people being born gay rolleyes


And? Do you honestly think science has proved that everything in the universe already? No, it takes time. Besides just ask a gay person if they made the choice. I'm one so I will answer that for you. No, being gay is not my choice. v****a is gross and I like p***s. I would love to be bi, that way I get all the fun, but guess what. That ain't so.

I think you might appreciate my links. Science has not settled on one explanation but there are a myriad of viable possibilities.
Edit: I've written several papers about epigenetic studies which point to their role in human sexuality. really cool stuff


Those seem quite interesting. I'll read them all tomorrow though, it's getting late where I'm at lol. Though for some reason I had to copy and paste the links, I think my computer is being weird. =)

No I think I messed it up. The research journals can be quite dense, if you don't have the time sciencedaily has other article which sums it up quite nicely

No, you're an idiot. Science claims very few things are true. It's idiots like you who constantly rant about truth, truth is subjective, but since every time I drop something it falls to the ground I'm gonna go ahead and put my stock in gravity. If they found contrary evidence to it's existence, I'd happily review my opinion.

Sorry science is what I do. I never should have tried to debate you, there's no honor in fighting someone who is unarmed.

Perfect Husband

choice or not... why does it matter? you like certain people. whoa. they either like you back or they don't. then again i don't know many straight people who can 'choose' to be gay and have a long lasting relationship with someone of the same sex... like how i don't know people who dislike green tea ice cream to eat that ice cream for week and decide they now like it.

No I mean majoring in biochemistry at a good university. With minors in neuro and polisci
edit:
You can't just say pseudoscience and suddenly it's so, disbelief in gravity doesn't make things fall up.

...disbelief in gravity doesn't make things fall up.

****! Back to the drawing board.

Wait. No. I know how this can work. If a guy is really...excited about disbelieving gravity.

eww...why did I even think that?
