Is Homosexuality genetic? I think not. Here's why.
So, both homosexuals that I know have been abused physically and/or mentally by men in their younger years. One of them found Jesus and is happily married (straight) with kids now, and the other is my Aunt who fears church, because they have previously shunned her. My Aunt was abused mentally, and was suspected to have been molested by her father. This makes me wonder if homosexuality has some [i]deeper[/i] cause.

As a Psych major, I can safely say that both of those are seriously in the minority. Sexuality is fundamentally determined at birth, though not through genetics. It's a physiological stimulus-response part of the brain being triggered differently.

It all started when I got my first hug from a guy. Since then, I've been guy crazy, man.

1 ReplyNah, I know many gay peeps and they're just born that way, it just happens. I feel like it does travel in your dna but not to an extent that forces the potential child to sway a certain way. For an example Jeffrey dohmers dad had -blam!-ed up thoughts and dreams about killing people, but he never actually did it, yet his son did. Might be a bad example but I think it still kinda fits

1 Replythere are studies suggesting that homosexuality is a flaw in how the brain is wired, not saying that homosexuals are broken ppl just saying i read tht it could be a flaw but that doesnt mean that its wrong i like to think if it is true that its not a flaw more of a alternative function on how the brain is wired.

1 ReplyAs somebody else said before, you can't choose what gives you a boner. Also, I find this thread as a weak argument since making out a fact from a personal opinion it's a terrible way to assume a reality different from ours, so...

1 ReplyMy theory on it is that it depends on the environment you have grown up in

1 ReplyYou can't control who or what gives you a boner. Thats why I believe its genetic. The penis is a great way to determine ones character

1 ReplyIt is most likely shaped by personal experiences and not genetics. I agree

1 Reply[quote]One of them found Jesus and is happily married (straight) with kids now[/quote]So Jesus bones gay folk now?

3 RepliesAnecdotal evidence isn't a sufficient answer.

1 ReplyIt is a choice

There is very likely (like most attributes) a genetic component... but that doesn't mean it is entirely genetic, or even mostly.

Not all priests are good.

Actually there are a lot of former homosexuals

3 RepliesI'll just leave this here http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7581447 Also i know lots of lgbt, most of which were never abused at all. So i can bring up annecdotes too.

5 RepliesSo who abused you then ?

I knew a gril that was abused when she was pretty young. [spoiler]FUBAR[/spoiler]

So you think people who are abused by men because homosexual? Wow I know people are that ignorant but seriously it's just idiotic.
-
7 out of 10 homosexuals I know have admitted to being sexually abused in some way when they were younger, including my sister. So, I believe that for a certain majority it is the case, but not always. I do not really believe that it is genetic. But I do believe that sexual orientation can be made out from life experiences. It's still not always a choice, but it's not genetic either. Just my 2 cents.
