WARNING!! MAY BE TOO INTELLECTUAL FOR SOME MEMBERS :cool:

This is a thread for PROOF of homosexuality as a genetic aberation. This is NOT a thread for name calling, mud slinging and personal insults. If you can't back up your statement with ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC PROOF, then don't post anything.

I am a Christian. I believe in God. I have read The Bible.
I am also a graduate psychology student. Scientific research has come a long way since The Bible was compiled in 300 A.D. Humans are no longer sacrificed to "appease God." Menstruating women are not exiled while they are "unclean." A lot of things are not as they once were.
The genetics of homosexuality were initially studied on animals. As much research is. When genetic makeups of fruit flies and various animals were altered in a specific way, the subjects were no longer interested in mating with the opposite sex.
D.F. Swaab found in some post-mortem examinations of homosexual males' brains that a portion of the hypothalamus of the brain was structurally different than a heterosexual brain. The hypothalamus is the portion of the human brain directly related to sexual drive and function. In the homosexual brains examined, a small portion of the hypothalamus, termed the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), was found to be twice the size of its heterosexual counterpart.
Different levels of sperm that implant in a female egg also have been found to produce a different genetic profile. This has been proven to lead to what is now termed "oversexed" males and females. They can become highly sexed, or "non-sexed", which refers to preferring ones own sex, as opposed to the opposite sex.

Remember, this is a research based thread. DO NOT quote scripture. Do not quote "studies" commissioned and undertaken by biased religious group meant to produce a pre-determined outcome.
If you can find an unbiased scientific study that proves homosexuality is not genetic, feel free to post it.

I am a 57 year old straight man that has no clue as to the cause or effect of the homosexual animal. I have known many admitted homosexuals in my military, civilian and political careers. I know they would mostly be very glad to change their propensities and I also know they simply cannot be successful in their attempts to do so.

Anamoly, aberation, whatever you want to call it, homosexuality is very real and simply must be accepted as another of the misunderstood gifts of God. These people, the homosexuals that I do and have known, are not enemies of mine, yours or anyone else's. They ask only for the proper considerations that all of us respect and expect. They are not after our children, our spouses, our neighbors or anyone else to embrace their propensities in sexual matters as their own. In fact, they would prefer to be left alone for the large part.

I have lot's of thoughts and observations about the homosexual communities and I think this is as good a place as any to discuss it. I hope there are a few homosexuals amongst us that will give us their own thoughts on this subject.

While I agree.....that there is some who are homosexual by Genetic defect-mix up, whatever you want to call it..

I also believe a large majority........is by CHOICE...

And nobody is denying them anything....The majority of people are willing to let it go at that...
They and other's are the one's SHOVING this in our faces as........we are wrong for not accepting it...as normal...

If it was SO normal.......Then why is the population of homosexuals in the United States...only 5%..???

I don't care what they do....But, I am sick of being called names,(bigot, racist, homophobe, denying them their CIVIL RIGHTS)... because I don't see it.........AS NORMAL....

Homosexual Choice and Santa Claus are both very popular myths believed by the very young or at least the very ignorant. I have no doubt that homosexuals do not desire their dispositions and subsequent rejections by mostly rabid radicals of the religious persuasions and others that tend to so afraid of them. They are simply what they are. God Bless Them.

57, and you act 15. Many, many homo's have been successfully treated for and cured. It's just to bad there is such a massive effort being lead by the fag and lezbo community to stifle it. This is but one example of people being cured...

BULL..... SHIT!
The homosexuals of today want EVERY SINGLE VOICE OF OPPOSITION TO THEIR SICKNESS TO BE SILENCED! They push their agenda harder than most others ever dream of. They push for laws to be passed so that if you say ANYTHING about them, it's HATE SPEACH. They push to have CHILDREN, IN SCHOOLS, taught that they are cutsie and fun, yeah... we're GAY, changing what they call themselves to something different to make themselves sound all warm and fuzzy, when the truth is they're disgusting, perverted and mentally ill. They have their massive, extravaganza parades all dressed up in every type of sicko, perverted crap they can muster without getting arrested, and march down the street parading their perversion IN YOUR FACE. YEAH, THAT'S REALLY WHAT I CALL WANTING TO BE LEFT ALONE.

I don't. They need to seek help. That's all.

And you people need to stop lying to them and enabling them. You do them a disservice by doing so. They need to be told they're ill, not that what they're doing is all warm and fuzzy and OK. They need treatment, not acceptance.

Mothers of gay men produced an average of 2.7 babies compared with 2.3 born to mothers of straight men. And maternal aunts of gay men had 2.0 babies compared with 1.5 born to the maternal aunts of straight men.

“This is a novel finding," says Simon LeVay, a neuroscientist and commentator on sexuality at Stanford University in California. “We think of it as genes for ‘male homosexuality’, but it might really be genes for sexual attraction to men. These could predispose men towards homosexuality and women towards ‘hyper-heterosexuality’, causing women to have more sex with men and thus have more offspring.”


That's quite a stretch for the "commentator on sexuality" to say that queer is genetic simply because mothers of queers have more babies. That does not appear to be the findings of the actual researchers.

.....


The scientists say they transplanted a single gene into the flies that caused them to display homosexual behavior. And that's very interesting, they assert, because a related gene exists in human beings, although there is no evidence yet that the human gene has an effect on sexual preference.

1. What scientist transplanted the first gay gene into humans back 5000 years ago? Oops- didn't have gene splicing back then.
2. A "related gene"? One change in a molecule and it affects its behaivior.
3. "there is no evidence yet that the human gene has an effect on sexual preference".

This is more comment on your first study.
......

Scientists doing DNA studies on homosexual brothers pinpointed 'culprit' genetic material to a region of the X chromosome that mothers pass on to their offspring.


But other researchers in the US have not been able to replicate these findings.


The ability for independent scientists to reproduce the results is a key element in proving a scientific relationship. Therefore the study is bull.

Yes, the Bible says homosexuality is wrong. The Bible says that a LOT of things are wrong. Please point out the passage in the Bible stating that homosexuality is a choice.
You might as well say that birth defects are a choice. Perhaps MS or lung cancer are a choice.

God said to "love thy neighbor." Many of you defy that edict on a daily basis. Why are you defying God's personal instructions? Perhaps we should lump you in with the homosexuals.

The thread remains. Put up or shut up.

The most famous of all the "gay brain" studies must surely be the research of Simon LeVay, who claimed that he discovered a modest but significant difference in the size of an already tiny section of the brain, the hypothalamus, in a group of dead straight and gay men. His 1993 book The Sexual Brain is an effort at popularizing his theory that sexuality in all its forms is ultimately attributable to physical structures of our brains, everything from mere sexual orientation to preferences for specific kinds of sexual acts and positions. The many serious flaws in LeVay's research and conclusions have been pointed out repeatedly, as have the tentative and problematic nature of the other work that has been done on identifying the biological causes of homosexuality. For example, there was no way to tell from the brains LeVay studied whether the differences in brain structure were the cause or the effect of homosexual behavior. Moreover, there was no verifiable way to determine the men's actual sexual behavior, since they were dead by the time the research was done — the assumption was simply made that the ones who died from HIV infection were homosexuals.

I am not the one castigating the homosexual lifestyle. Nor am I the one who makes post after post defiling blacks, Mexicans and Muslims. I make an attempt to understand all people. Instead of throwing an open hate blanket over all of them.

The assumption that all who die from HIV are homosexuals is wrong. HIV can be contracted from blood transfusions and shared needles, along with exchange of bodily fluids with an infected person. This has led to an alarming rise in the number of straight people dying from HIV.

Do you realize that science is no more, no less, that the Opinions of persons who have studied a specific subject? That does not make them automatically right, thus I tend to discount science in favor of common sense. there is nothing scientific in that, but often much more reliable.

They are not 'normal' - 7-footers are ABNORMAL. They happen, sure...but all the attributes in your list of 'normal' things are physical traits - NOT something associated with BEHAVIOUR.

Again - Homosexuality is ONLY behaviour-driven. When one feels URGES they never act upon, they are NOT homosexuals.

True, homosexuality is usually a behaviour, but not always. It is psychological as well as a phisical trait in some individuals, And they can definitely be psychologically a homosexual without acting upon those urges. Many homosexuals are married to woman, and have children

The proper question is not whether homosexual tendencies are based in biochemistry, genetics or choice. The proper question should be if homosexuality is detrimental to the individual and/or to society. There are MANY biochemical and genetic conditions which have a direct, negative impact on both the individual and society, and we as a society have determined that individuals with such conditions need treatment for their own health and for the health of the society.

Personally, I have no doubt but what genetic and biochemical factors play a role in what we as individuals are predisposed to. But just because something is "naturally occurring" does NOT automatically equate to it being good for the individual or society.

The assumption that all who die from HIV are homosexuals is wrong. HIV can be contracted from blood transfusions and shared needles, along with exchange of bodily fluids with an infected person. This has led to an alarming rise in the number of straight people dying from HIV.

Being happy and loving who you want to love isn't destructive behavior in my book. What's destructive is when others rebuke, ostracize, browbeat, threaten and ignore.

The bottom line is that behaviors and mental illnesses have "much more complex (causes) than researchers had imagined," Beckwith concludes. "There are probably numerous genes in each individual that play a role."

Yep...this debunks a genetic cause for behaviors! :rolleyes:

No conclusions can be drawn from studies relating genetics to sexual orientation, according to an October 30, 1996 panel at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) annual meetings in San Francisco.

When it comes to something as primal as sex, I'm not sure. Noone is demanding that you abstain from an interpersonal relationship with the person you are attracted to. Noone is demanding that you engage in sex opposite of your orientation if you wish to have sex.

The ability for independent scientists to reproduce the results is a key element in proving a scientific relationship. Therefore the study is bull.

Lets look at the recent history of political correctness about queers:

1960's: fags
1970's: fag is now a bad word, let's use "queer".
1980's: queer makes us sound different than normal people, so let's use "sexual preference"
1990's: If we want special rights our queerness can't be seen as a choice. Let's use "sexual orientation".

The 1980's politically correct definition, that queers themselves coined, proves that queers have always known the obvious: its their choice.

It is therefore up to queers and their enablers to prove otherwise. It's not up to us normals.

Mine's not faulty, I simply chose to start in the 60's, and merely to prove my point that even queers now queerness is a choice. If you want to expand on it, Pops, knock youself out. But you started with false assumptions. and (not to be picky, but to understand) what words did you leave out of the above???

No. it was you simple sentence who's meant got lost because wirds were apparently left out. and BTW, our point ---that you can not prove it is simply a choice--- is equally as valid as yours.

But you know, since you won't revisit the offending sentence. I have to belive that you don't know what it meant either.

I don't have to prove it. Its been common knowledge for centuries, and only since the 1980's or so have queers figgered out that they could claim ti be victims- just like blacks and minorities- if their condition was genetic. Therefore the politically correct change from "sexual preference" to "sexual orientation". It is therefore up to queers to prove their case, not mine to prove the obvious.
