Have scientists finally found the 'gay gene'?

^^^^^

But RWs will screech that they want smaller government and fewer regulations.

RWs lie.

They want more and more laws and the more invasive the better.

So, would you support gene therapy that eliminates the "gay gene", should there actually be one and we could fix it?

Of course not.

Why "fix" something that isn't broken?

Edited to add - If it were possible for a gay adult to choose to be straight, they should be able to do that. But of course, I doubt that's ever going to ever be possible.

Why would you not want to fix an evolutionary dead end?

Scientists will find a workaround, by enabling the birth of butt babies.

Why would anyone think its "an evolutionary dead end"?

You really think that straights will suddenly stop having gay babies?

Would you not want to fix an affliction that leaves 2% of the population unable to create offspring? Are you that callous?

So gays are sterile?

So gays are sterile?

You tell me. How many gay men are capable, minus modern medical science, of living a normal life with a woman, fathering and raising children with her?

You really can't be that stupid can you?

Have scientists finally found the 'gay gene'? Major new study of 800 brothers backs claims sexuality is in our genes

• Results bolster previous evidence pointing to genes on X chromosome
• Study doesn't identify which of hundreds of genes located in either place might be involved

• 
  A large study of gay brothers has reignited the debate over whether a 'gay gene' exists - and adds to evidence that genes influence men's chances of being homosexual.
  
  Some scientists believe several genes might affect sexual orientation.
  
  Researchers who led the new study of nearly 800 gay brothers say their results bolster previous evidence pointing to genes on the X chromosome.

  Julio Cabrera poses in a local park in Chicago. Cabrera and his brother Mauricio, of Fort Worth, Texas, are among almost 800 gay brothers nationwide who donated blood or saliva to help scientists search for genetic clues about the origins of homosexuality. Both are convinced their sexual orientation is as deeply rooted as their Mexican heritage.
  
  
  WHAT THEY FOUND
  The researchers say they found potential links to male homosexuality in a portion of chromosome X and on chromosome 8, based on an analysis of genetic material in blood or saliva samples from participants.
  
  Chromosome X is one of two human sex chromosomes; the other is chromosome Y, present only in men.
  
  The study authors note that animal research suggests a gene located in one region of chromosome X may contribute to some sexual behavior; it's one of the same regions cited in the new study.
  
  
  They also found evidence of influence from a gene or genes on a different chromosome.
  
  But the study doesn't identify which of hundreds of genes located in either place might be involved.
  
  Smaller studies seeking genetic links to homosexuality have had mixed results.
  
  The new evidence 'is not proof but it's a pretty good indication' that genes on the two chromosomes have some influence over sexual orientation, said Dr. Alan Sanders, the lead author.

Genetic or choice - anything between consenting adults that harms no one else is no one's business but theirs.

Not a fan of the gay gene hypothesis. It's like saying don't penalize lesbians and gays, it's not their fault, it's genetic. How about not penalizing them because who ya have sex with is none of your business?

The "gay gene" hypothesis raises the potential for treatment that could eliminate homosexuality. Is that something the homosexual community really wants to champion?
