Homophobia: Fun Fact

[Sunni Man]

I read the other day they isolated the gay receptors or chromosomes.

Lesbians get it from Dad and Gay men get it from Mom.

Epigenetics Is A Critical Factor In Homosexuality

The whole study and article is full of: "studies suggest, could be, plausible, seem to be, suggesting, etc."

And also includes this little gem; "Although to date, no gene for homosexuality has been found. Therefore, studies continue to search for a genetic connection."

If you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I have the right NOT to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

Then you are just a dick.

Yeah sure. I believe that as much as I believe you were fired for being sick and not coming to work drunk.

Haven't taken a sick day in five years, but keep talking shit out of your mouth, it's all you're good for.

There is no evidence that any species but humans are homosexual.

Unless, that is, you think dogs humping legs is proof that inter species sex is a product of natural selection.

That is the way scientific studies are referenced. If you are searching for a definitive " this gene is the cause" that is not gonna happen. There won't be a specific heterosexuality gene, either.

I read a recent article about advances in treating cystic fibrosis in which a pill has been developed to block the action of a genetic defect. Everyone they treated with the pill who has that defect is doing better. Improvement for 100%. But the article insists it is not a cure and more research needs to be done to ensure this new pill is safe and effective. Plus it doesn't work on the majority of CF sufferers that have a differing mutation causing their CF.

The human body and especially the brain is too complex for simplistic platitudes and science doesn't do that.

Here is a simplistic platitude that you will disagree with, science has conclusively proven that homosexuality is not genetic.

Here is a simplistic platitude that you will disagree with, science has conclusively proven
that homosexuality is not genetic.

Science is saying that if certain epigenetic markers may be passed on rather than erased; then this could be a cause of homosexuality.

If the preponderance of scientific evidences shows that epigenetic markers could cause homosexuality; then the scientific research community could
conclude that the cause of homosexuality is probably genetic.

Science advances - this is an undeniably true simplistic platitude. Regards from Rosie

Actually, science has not proven anything conclusively on that score.

Gay Men in Twin Study - NYTimes.com

Of course, the real problem is, neither side wants to go down the road of studying this too far.

The Homophobes would never want to admit it's genetic, and gay folks themselves wouldn't want to find the gay gene and have those good christian parents suddenly forget why they hate abortion so much.

Some scientist are speculating that epigenetic markers might have something to do with homosexuality. If they are correct, then what is actually happening is that foreign genetic material from the father is interfering with the development of an embryo by blocking the hormones it needs to develop into a normal child. If this is true people like you will be screaming about how right wingers are trying to find a cure for homosexuality. Maybe you should take the time to understand what you are talking about before you declare yourself an expert.

Despite your misuse of the word platitude, there is no proof anywhere that sexual orientation is genetic. In fact, twin studies have actually proven that it isn't, even if people that put politics above science refuse to admit it.

I find it laughable that you point to evidence that proves homosexuality is not genetic in order to claim it is. Without even delving into the faults with the study cited in the article, the fact that only 52% of monoamniotic both have the same sexual orientation is actually proof that it is not genetic. The simple fact is that, if it is genetic, they both would have the same sexual orientation.

 

[MaryL]

HOW does not liking gays VALIDATE them? Homophobia? Pfft. I am disgusted with their sexuality, and I won't hide it. In the name of freedom, nobody should feel they have to hide their DISLIKES, either. Or are some of you afraid of freedom? I am so tired of this pro-gay tidal wave. It's getting ridiculous.

 

[daveman]

I think he did what the American people were telling him to do at the time.

You know HIS JOB

So, when a Dem signs an act that discriminates against LGBTs, he's doing his job. But, when a Republican does the same, he's being a bigot.

LOL -- flash forward 20 years to today....

Since behavioral scientists have come to the consensus that homosexuality is a hard-wired personality trait, what DEM has purposed an anti-gay bill?

Even tricky Dicky Cheney knows the truth, because his own daughter is a homosexual.

Sexual Orientation is NOT a choice.

Bigotry and homophobia IS a CHOICE.

That's the point of this thread.

Thank you for playing, but you're done in this thread.

But your bigotry against conservatives is good and righteous and holy?

I think that it proves that there's a genetic predisposition. I suspect it's probably really 100%, but we have people like you who make people pretend to be straight when they aren't.

Like Rush Limbaugh...errrr. Jeff Christy.

 

[Sunni Man]

There has been pseudo science research over the last couple of centuries claiming genetic predisposition for such things as rapists, pedophiles, murderers, thieves, and other criminal behavior.

Now the homos want to use this bogus scientific quackery to justify and validate their aberrant lifestyle.

Why is it you homophobes feel the need to compare homosexuality to other things.

Other than you finding it icky and your Imaginary Friend in the Sky thinking it's bad, you've yet to give me one good reason against it...

You need to get over yourself, seriously.

 

[Sunni Man]

Homos claim that being gay isn't a "choice".

That just leaves: 1) genetics 2) mental illness

But psychiatrists say that it isn't a mental illness.

And no so called gay gene has been discovered.

That just leaves "Choice"

The gene that causes cancer hasn't been discovered yet, either.

Are you claiming cancer is a "choice"?

Cancer is a disease, so is that what you're saying homosexuality is now?

Nice try.......but cancer is from a mutated gene; not a passed down gene.

No, there are people who smoke until they are 90 and never get cancer, and folks who get cancer in their 50's, whose father had it and grandfather had it...

But they haven't found the genetic cause- yet.
