We know dogs aren't born mooing. But what about people? Are they "born gay"?
The best research says no. Even respected scientists — several of whom are gay — acknowledge this. Take a look:
- "There is not a single master gene that makes people gay.... I don't think we will ever predict who will be gay."
Dean Hamer, openly gay author of 1993 X Chromosome Study. | (read it) - "It's important to stress what I didn't find. I did not prove that homosexuality is genetic, or find a genetic cause for being gay. I didn't show that gay men are born that way, the most common mistake people make in interpreting my work."
Simon LeVay, openly gay author of 1991 gay-brain study | (read it) - "At clinical conferences one often hears … that homosexual orientation is fixed and unmodifiable. Neither assertion is true … the assertion that homosexuality is genetic is so reductionistic that it must be dismissed out of hand…"
Richard C. Friedman and Jennifer Downey, authors of "Sexual Orientation and Psychoanalysis: Sexual Science and Clinical Practice" | (read it)
Truth is, there's no scientific proof showing that people are "born gay."
