Author Topic: Homoloveuality! Let's discuss.  (Read 16693 times)

I am confused. Choice or not?
Someone brought it up, Mysteroo I think, that homoloveuality is not genetic. Dug around and found a site explaining it.

http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/blog/2013/06/identical-twin-studies-prove-homoloveuality-is-not-genetic/
I tried to find some good sources, but didn't. If someone finds anything link.

Anyway the article talks about a case where two twins were born, one being gay and the other not. Twins are supposed to have the same genetics, which these twins did but they had different loveual orientations. Then it starts talking about that in teen years, a lot of teens who admitted to being gay, in a few years went back to being straight like it was some sort of social phase.

What is going on.

Does it matter?

Do I not have a right to do whatever I want, as long as it doesn't negatively effect others?

I think it's a mix of "nature and nurture", but I don't know about that.


I don't think it's genetic, but I don't think it's a choice, either. I'm not a biologist, so I'm not too sure what could possibly cause it; however, it most definitely is natural, as there are many cases in which animals have displayed homoloveual traits. Apparently, a case with rams show that the homoloveual rams had smaller genitalia than the heteroloveual ones, so I am certain that hormones do have some sort of effect on one's loveuality.

Choice but usually given naturally.

Umm its if they decide to be gay i think :D ( im handicapped idk )


uhh thats a christian website

i dont think they're exactly reliable on news for homoloveuality being a choice or not

There's also several other sites with the same thing. I didn't find any citations for it that's why I'm confused.

Ok I found something

The study that took place, if anyone wants to read it.

with the same story?

Assuming that I was going to take that website seriously I would say that identical twins aren't exact replicas of each other and their embryonic development can differ from each other. And no where in that article is the source of the supposed research linked to.
