In the last two decades, dozens of scientific papers have been published on the biological origins of homosexuality - another announcement was made last week. It's becoming scientific orthodoxy. But how does it fit with Darwin's theory of evolution?
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's hit song Same Love, which has become an unofficial anthem of the pro-gay marriage campaign in the US, reflects how many gay people feel about their sexuality.
It mocks those who "think it's a decision, and you can be cured with some treatment and religion - man-made rewiring of a predisposition". A minority of gay people disagree, maintaining that sexuality is a social construct, and they have made a conscious, proud choice to take same-sex partners.
But scientific opinion is with Macklemore. Since the early 1990s, researchers have shown that homosexuality is more common in brothers and relatives on the same maternal line, and a genetic factor is taken to be the cause. Also relevant - although in no way proof - is research identifying physical differences in the brains of adult straight and gay people, and a dizzying array of homosexual behaviour in animals."
Siblings would indicate they shared a common environment, how is that evidence of a genetic cause? That's an assumption, not science. Scientific opinion isn't scientific fact. How do they explain identical twins with different sexual preferences? They obviously rule out any human subjectivity, which is odd since sexual preferences are highly subjective. Where's the gay gene? That would be proof. The dizzying array of animal homosexual means they know zilch about animals. Animals pair up with opposite genders unless they can't. The dominant male in the mammal kingdom often gets the whole harem to himself.
It's just political correctness and it isn't the only example of agendas masquerading as science.
