THE 'GAY GENE' IS A MYTH BUT BEG GAY IS 'NATURAL,' SAY SCIENTISTS

The news this week that the largt study of s kd failed to nfirm the existence of a "gay gene" is not so much a disappotment for those lookg to unrstand the LGBTQ muny, as is an acknowledgement that science do not need to tell what should be plaly obv: gays, lbians, bisexuals and pansexuals are who they are. But here's the quote that will light opponents of LGBTQ rights, some of whom sist they n "nvert" gay people to choose to be straight by prayg the gay away:.

"There is no ‘gay gene’ that term whether someone has same-sex partners, ” said Ganna, who is also a geicist at the Broad Instute of MIT and Harvard as well as the Universy of Helski.

While the variatns the gen are not enough to raise a rabow flag and label anyone as unqutnably gay, the rearchers say the blogil variants may at the very least partly fluence sexual behavr. This new rearch, he said “provis even more evince that beg gay or lbian is a natural part of human life, a ncln that has been drawn by rearchers and scientists time and aga. This new rearch also renfirms the long tablished unrstandg that there is no nclive gree to which nature or nurture fluence how a gay or lbian person behav.

WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? GAY BY CHOICE OR IS BEG GAY GEIC?

Geics nnot tell "the whole story, " as Eric Vila, director of the Center for Geic Medice Rearch at Children’s Natnal Health System, told the Post, about what "mak" somebody gay. However, blogists have documented homosexual behavr more than 450 speci, argug that same-sex behavr is not an unnatural choice, and may fact play a val role wh populatns.

The 2019 study is the latt a hunt for “gay gen” that began 1993, when Dean Hamer lked male homosexualy to a sectn of the X chromosome. So-lled genome-wi associatn studi intified a gene lled SLITRK6, which is active a bra regn lled the diencephalon that differs size between people who are homosexual or heterosexual. ” For example, certa gen women help crease their fertily, but if the gen are exprsed a male, they predispose him toward homosexualy.

GETTG INTO YOUR GEN: GAY SEXUALY & 'NATURAL SELECTN'

While there is no sgle “gay gene, ” there is overwhelmg evince of a blogil basis for sexual orientatn that is programmed to the bra before birth based on a mix of geics and prenatal ndns, none of which the fet choos. The Amerin Psychologil Associatn, the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn, and even gay rearchers regnize that homosexualy nnot be rced to blogy alone.

Their reproductive ans work together harmonly to produce new humans—a clear ditn that natural sign favors heterosexual rather than homosexual unns. Homosexual sire, then, would also be unnatural for the same reason: driv people to abandon the natural sign and functn of human sexualy.

Though some gay advot ny that the Bible nmns homosexual behavr, they mt rort to terpretive gymnastics that distort the clear and obv meang of the biblil text to do so. It very much appears that same-sex sexual attractn is not a choice but actg on is; so if you fe gay as the mere prence of same-sex attractn, then om everythg we unrstand, beg gay is not a choice.

If, on the other hand, you nsir someone to be gay only if they act on their same-sex attractn then beg gay n be nsired a choice pendg on an dividual's behavr. Whether science n ultimately prove the blogy of beg gay or not, 's important to support all adults their choic no matter how they intify.

In argug that homosexualy is “natural, ” gay activists claim that there are hundreds of exampl of homosexual behavr among animals and that the exampl are found virtually every speci. Before I answer that qutn, I’d like to ask a qutn return: Do gays really want to pot to the animal world to prove that their romantic attractns and sexual sir are “natural”? ”In other words, animals are not humans, and gays ga nothg by appealg to the animal world, unls you want to say that when a male dog grabs hold of your leg and starts dog his thg on you, he is actg “gay.

Homosexualy; to pot to specific “homosexual” behavrs among animals prov is te that there are hundreds if not thoands of exampl of “gay animals” or same-sex attractns and acts among them?

That’s why gay scientist Simon LeVay wrote, “Although homosexual behavr is very mon the animal world, seems to be very unmon that dividual animals have a long-lastg predisposn to engage such behavr to the excln of heterosexual activi.

That me up the news about a ago, but not surprisgly, you don’t hear much about anymore, sce there don’t seem to have been much to the first the allegedly gay pengu uple om the Central Park Zoo, Roy and Silo, celebrated the book “And Tango Mak Three” (Tango was the pengu baby they helped raise together), eventually broke up when Silo took up wh a female pengu named Scrappy. 2) Animals do not date or get married, so the only parison that gay activists n make is to sexual behavr, and we are nstantly told that homosexualy is not simply a matter of sex. 3) Same-sex animal behavr n be explaed other ways than “sexual orientatn, ” cludg acts of sum then, the argument, “We know that homosexualy is natural bee is found the animal world” breaks down my new book, “Outlastg the Gay Revolutn: Where Homosexual Activism Is Really Gog and How to Turn the Ti, ” I vote one entire chapter to the prciple of “Keep Propagatg the Tth Until the Li Are Exposed.

Rearch to homosexualy has led to tertg and sometim surprisg disveri, as well as to prevly unnsired qutns about the balance between nature and nurture a person’s sexual orientatn. Acrdg to scientists, the occurrence of homosexualy is generally about the same all rac, cultur, and natnali throughout the world: Approximately five percent of all men and two percent of women are exclively same-sex their sir and practic.

Acrdg to rearch begun by the Ksey Instute, more men and women are attracted, varyg gre, to both oppose-sex as well as same-sex partners than are exclively gay. If this is the se, and if Darw is rrect, gay people mt have some role supportg the speci – if not om direct reproductive strategi, then om another, possibly social, perspective. The search for the evolutnary source of male homosexualy is of great tert to many, cludg not only evolutnary blogists and experts geics, but also psychologists, anthropologists, and rearchers other fields.
