GAY TRUTH

The conclusion of the editors: “Current research into possible biological bases of sexual preference has failed to produce any conclusive evidence.” [2]  The National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) home page offers a number of articles which latest claims for the “Born that Way” theory. [3] Supporters of the “born-that-way” theory frequently cite a 1993 study by Dean Hamer and associates who claimed to have found a “gay gene.” [4]   However, other scientists have failed to duplicate their results.
