Was debating this on another forum, basically some people are born knowing all their lives they are gay. Some guy stated that it seems to be natures solution to stoping overpopulation of the planet. Good point of view imo and it fits in with the born theory.

Just as with 'g' (intelligence), there is some genetic basis behind sexual
preference: the rest is determined by the environment in which the man
lives. It's not always a choice: did you choose your skin pigmentation &
sex ? Genetics play a big role in many things you take for granted.

I'm scouring Google right now for an article I read in a scientific journal while I was researching something unrelated for biology. I'll edit it in if I can find it. Anyway:

The article basically reviewed and debated a theory that humans can actually alter their genetic make-up on a very small level. It reviewed a study from John Hopkins that followed a man for something like 8-10 years, with tissue samples being taken regularly. The man grew up in the South and had moved Maryland only a few months earlier. At the end of the study, several aspects of his genetic make-up had had noticeable changes, such as the genetic structure that helps define your personal preference for temperature and another that helps define the tenacity of your immune system.

Anyway, this study would indicate that it is the environment and/or mental state which defines homosexuality, since being born homosexual would be a mutation of nature. Unless someone was born to a person with those altered genes.

This whole thing is still in the theory phase. If I can find it I'll post it. Checking the JHU archives right now.

Gays choose to be gay. Because, I have known some gay guys that have turned straight guys gay. So obviously its a choice. Personally I think gay people should be burned at the stake.

Are any mods reading this stuff? What do we need this guy and others like him around for?

I get banned for spamming emoticons, and these guys make comments like this without punishment.

Oh yeah and by the way, spamming emoticons is a bigger deal then expressing your opinion considering the fact it takes a long ass time to load, and its pointless.

So it's OK to say "Gay people should be burned at the stake", as long as you don't flame people? oOo:

Go out to the mall, or other public place and express "your" opinion and see how many people agree with your right to "express it".
