Subject: RE: BS: the demise of the boring thread
Let me 'clarify'...by 'everything' I meant everything in quotation marks from the studies. If you have differences, I suggest you read the actual link from what was hailed as the 'latest breakthrough studies' as heralded by the article from the 'UK Guardian'.
At issue is 'genetics' but no gene has been identified conclusively.
brain differences(from Don's post, 1st 'CLICKY'), but it doesn't appear that that has been supported by actual data provided...merely as Don posted, "I don't think brain scientists know yet whether these difference existed at birth or came later."

What is known, and supported by most all studies, is that hormones, produced by the mother, during pregnancy, has a direct affect, and in the posted link, by Dave and Don, is this direct quote, "While genes do CONTRIBUTE to sexual orientation, OTHER MULTIPLE FACTORS PLAY A GREATER role, perhaps including the levels of hormones a baby is exposed to in the womb."

It just appears that what has been 'rumored' by the politicos, about the 'cause' of homosexuality, is not supported by the very link studies posted...nor their seems to be inconsistencies as to how much physiological changes were present AT BIRTH.

My contention, is that the stressed hormonal environment during pregnancy, in which the nervous system is being formed, would have a direct effect on the receptors in the nervous system, and I'm open to the brain differences, posted by Don, being as the brain is part of the nervous system.

I do not align myself with a 'religious', nor 'political' stance...that being said, there could be certain consistencies with either or both.
So what are they???...and..why would either of them base their emphatic 'opinions' on unsupported and/or conflicting data???...or is it just unsupported political bias, trying to appear as 'common knowledge'???
...and if that's the case, using that unsupported bias to enact laws and policies, on fabrications??
Wouldn't you be, 'at least curious'??
