Genetics of Homosexuality vs. Reproductive Rights

[kahljorn]

"It's pretty solid that genetic factors can cause a predispotistion toward homosexuality"

Like what? So how many people are born "Predisposed" towards homosexuality who end up completely straight? What genetic influences are you talking about? Are you talking about intersexed chromosomal disorders or something like that?
Usually when people say something is genetic it has to do with statisitcs. "These people had these children and this many of them were like this so I assume this". "Correlation is not causation"?

"there's a certain critical period in utero in which an imbalance of chemicals (i.e., too much or too little testosterone) could permenently affect a whole range of personality traits"

So you think hormones are responsible for sexual orientation? Children in utero don't have personality traits. Is there a connection between being gay and being autistic? Also, chemical imbalances in utero would be considered enviromental(not that I'm correcting you, just talking).


Do you guys really think genes are responsible for behavioralisms, personality traits and social motivations? Where's the Goth gene?
