What's in you genes?

Astonishing Ignorance

Children and parents have no more control over sexual orientation than they have over eye color. The REAL science (published in peer reviewed journals) is quite conclusive that sexual orientation is involuntary and formed at a very early age.

The notion that someone can "fight it" is as preposterous as pray away the gay. Both suggest that being gay is some sort of character flaw. Typically, that comes from people who embrace selective observation in order to conform a result to scripture. That's not science. This is how we end up with otherwise intelligent people arguing that the earth is 6,000 (in contrast to 4.5 billion) years old and that Darwin is flawed theory.

where's your proof?

Isolate that "gay gene" and you will make me a believer!

there is no gay gene

They've been looking and looking and they haven't found one. I do believe things mentally form at a very early age, but as psychologists will tell you, very young children pick up a lot more than most think. I strongly believe most of it does have to do with some issue with the parents. One may be too domineering. One may be too passive. One may not be there. One might be abusive. If there was a gay gene, they would have found it by now because it isn't for a lack of trying.
