Gay or Straight?

[polluxlm]

If so shouldn't it be cureable? To my knowledge that isn't so.

I think it's genetics, considering you can actually see if a person is gay.

I also didn't say it was a disease. (what logic makes something that isn't genetics a disease?)

There's a lot of things that we don't know about the human development... Okay.. Maybe the 'click' was a bad way to describe. We all develop differently is what I'm saying. We don't know what makes us do the things we do. At this moment (from the evidence I've seen) there's no telling what makes a person gay. At what point the switch (or if it even is a switch but something that just developes at some part of your life) happens.

How do you explain the gayness or not being gay of the identical twins who have the exact same dna if it's genetics?

[polluxlm]

They found that a majority of the brothers and sisters of gay (identicals) twins were also gay.

I think it could be a combination of genes and enviroment. In that you can carry the gene but not necessarily 'start' it without the proper impulses. This is supported by the fact that the children of homosexuals are more often homosexuals themselves.

It's just a theory on my part, but I'm pretty certain the genes plays a part in it.

This could be true...

But it is more or less speculation. All of it. All that can be done is to narrow it with 'what it isn't'. 'till the answer's found of course. Don't know how much it matters whether it will change opinions to any directions. Some will always think that it's a defect just like everything else that isn't the exact same as eveyone else.

who cares if you are a decent person.at this point im nothing niether gay or straight.wanting no one right  now.but sometimes while drinking a hot woman wouldn't be so bad to wake  up with lol.

im pretty sure these thesis have been discarded for years ... maybe i missed some new news ...

What study showed this?

I don't watch "gay roommate" videos so I wouldn't know anything about it... Even if they feature one straight twin.

D has plenty of gay roommate videos, just ask.

[horsey]

it could be true you are in the wrong body i think.like them kids who want to be the opisit sex while at a young age.who knows maybe in genes.

I saw it on 60 minutes a year ago or so. Did some searches yesterday on google to verify.

But it's logical really, that it has to be at least partially attached to your genetics. Attraction to the opposite sex is an instinct, and no enviromental impulses can change that code.

[stolat]

I think the attraction is connected to one's sense of smell. Anyone looked into the science there?

Not exclusively. Science has alot of theories on the subject.

[stolat]

I guess that such experimentation would be hard to conduct for ethical reasons.

That's what the Chinese are for. 

To conduct the experiments, I mean...not to experiment on.

I remember reading that while flipping through the Advocate.  I was standing in a grocery line so I didnt have time to really read it, but it was describing the results of a study on attraction of women/gay men/straight men to male pheremones (sp?)   Sweat!
