SEARCH FOR 'GAY GEN' COM UP SHORT IN LARGE NEW STUDY

While our rearchers did not fd – nor did they expect to fd – a “gay gene” or even a geic variant that has a strong associatn wh homosexualy, they did fd some tertg rout of quiry. A ltle more than five percent of those people who took the survey intify themselv as solely homosexual, while about 74 percent intified themselv as solely heterosexual.

A NEW AGE OF GAY GENOMICS IS HERE. ARE WE READY FOR THE CONSEQUENC?

The remar intified themselv as eher mostly, or somewhat homosexual or mostly or somewhat heterosexual, or they intified themselv as bisexual. A few of the studi have poted to possible ndidate gen associated wh homosexualy found on the X chromosome, specifilly on band Xq28, but the studi have been small and only men.

As a scientist, I am fascated by the new ternatnal study that found thoands of geic variants associated wh same-sex sexual behavr, and not a mythil “gay gene.

A SCIENTIFIC STUDY HAS TABLISHED THAT THERE IS NO “GAY GENE”

There Is No ‘Gay Gene’.

THE 'GAY GENE' IS A TOTAL MYTH, MASSIVE STUDY CONCLUS

This rearch did not fd a “gay gene, ” and ankly, human blogy don’t work that way.

THERE’S (STILL) NO GAY GENE

In an terview, she said the study is further evince that prev reports of a "gay gene" on the X chromosome are wrong. And bee the rearchers didn't fd gene variants that rrelated wh a gradient of sexual behavr, she says, unrcuts Aled Ksey's s-old sle, which ranked people on a spectm of sexualy, om exclively heterosexual to exclively homosexual.

A New Age of Gay Genomics Is Here. The notn of a “gay gene”—a geic basis for same-sex attractn—has preoccupied scientists, gay civilians, and folks who’d rather queers didn’t exist for s.
