GAY TRUTH

This image shows the coding region in a segment of eukaryotic DNA. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) It is reasonable to assume that sexual behavior--in any and all of its manifestation—is directed by the activity of many, possibly hundred of genes. But the exact and specific type of sexual expression is also influenced by countless environmental forces that interact with the genes in complex ways (Hubbard, 1997; Ridley, 2003). Except for the rare physical abnormalities (such as Huntington’s Disease ) at the present time, there is no evidence of a direct causative link between a single gene and complex psycho-social behavior such as sexual preference (Collins, 2006). This is not my opinion but read any book on behavior genetics or molecular biology and the authors will unanimously agree that, at present, there is no gay gene. Lewontin et al. stated this explicitly: “Up to the present time no one has ever been able to relate any aspect of human social behavior to any  particu

The press releases and campaign signs were quietly forgotten. The news was big, but it did not contain what some had hoped for. On April 14, 2003, the International Human Genome Consortium announced the successful completion of the Human Genome Project —two years ahead of schedule. The press report read: “ The human genome is complete and the Human Genome Project is over ” (see “Human Genome Report...,” 2003, emp. added). Most of the major science journals reported on the progress in the field of genetics, but also speculated on how the information would now be used. The one piece of information that never materialized from the Human Genome Project was the identification of the so-called “gay gene.” Homosexuality has been practiced for thousands of years. Simply put, homosexuality is defined as sexual relations between like
