BBC News Article.... Womb environment 'makes men gay'
Sheyne:
Wow!!
The things you learn from Chez Tremblay... :o

You know, I was thinking tonight as I was taking the dog for a walk. Was Jack perhaps adopted? That would explain why "Ennis couldn't see much of Jack in either one of them," as it says in the story. Also, it would explain (not excuse) why his father was so cruel. If Jack was adopted, maybe he did have an older brother somewhere.

My only fear is that Scientist want to learn what makes a person Gay so they can prevent it from hapening in the future!
Imagine if there was a simple test to see how your child would be born? Everything from physical Birth defects to things like mental disorders. They could give the parents the option of not keeping the child. "oh and we discovered your son is going to be a flaming queen of a hairdresser, would you like that Sir?"
Can you imagine how BORING this planet would be without Gay men and women?

Yep, Celeste really speaks to my initial reaction to the article.
Let me also point out that, any one studying Statisitcs 101 can tell you, correlation don't not mean proof. Just because their is more a correlation between homosexuality in biological brothers might rule out one social factor, it doesn't mean that it prooves the biological factor. There are too many exception. Gattaca himself is one, an older brother who gay. I've also met quite a few identical twins who are one gay one straight. If sexuality is biologically and genetically determined, that should be impossible. I take this article with a grain of salt, and wait to see how the study is reproduced and challenged.
