It's been long known but little noted that the environment a man lives in can affect his sexual behavior, such as Ed notes above. Prisons, or in times gone by, long sea voyages with an all-male crew. But—given a choice, they resume heterosexual activity. In this kind of situation, the majority of men generally abstain, but not all. Some men seem to require an outlet—any outlet—for their libido

This does NOT mean that sexual orientation is merely a matter of choice.

II don't recall the exact figures right now and I don't have time to look them, but as I recall, Kinsey's 1950s study said that something like 15% of males surveyed had had homosexual relations. Some interpreted that as "15% of males are homosexual," but this was an error. Some 15% had experimented with homosexual behavior (In some cases, had been molested), but this was generally a one-time thing and in no way indicated that they had "chosen" to be homosexual.

Goofus, you asked for it, you GOT it!

From an article in The Guardian, UK:
A study of gay men in the US has found fresh evidence that male sexual orientation is influenced by genes. Scientists tested the DNA of 400 gay men and found that genes on at least two chromosomes affected whether a man was gay or straight.

A region of the X chromosome called Xq28 had some impact on men's sexual behaviour – though scientists have no idea which of the many genes in the region are involved, nor how many lie elsewhere in the genome.

Another stretch of DNA on chromosome 8 also played a role in male sexual orientation – though again the precise mechanism is unclear.
Researchers have speculated in the past that genes linked to homosexuality in men may have survived evolution because they happened to make women who carried them more fertile. This may be the case for genes in the Xq28 region, as the X chromosome is passed down to men exclusively from their mothers.

Michael Bailey, a psychologist at Northwestern University in Illinois, set out the findings to the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Chicago on Thursday. "The study shows that there are genes involved in male sexual orientation," he said. The work has yet to be published, but confirms the findings of a smaller study that sparked widespread controversy in 1993, when Dean Hamer, a scientist at the US National Cancer Institute, investigated the family histories of more than 100 gay men and found homosexuality tended to be inherited. More than 10% of brothers of gay men were gay themselves, compared to around 3% of the general population. Uncles and male cousins on the mother's side had a greater than average chance of being gay, too.

From a 'comment', below your article, on the same page:

"You clearly died pretty early on in the article as it repeatedly states that it is very clearly not all in the genes.
I believe there is a comprehension gene also that occasionally goes missing, no need for a genetic test in extreme cases...."

Here's some quotes from the same link of the study:

"Another stretch of DNA on chromosome 8 also played a role in male sexual orientation – though again the precise mechanism is unclear."

"Researchers have SPECULATED in the past that genes linked to homosexuality in men MAY have survived evolution because they happened to make women who carried them more fertile"

"In follow-up work, he found that 33 out of 40 gay brothers inherited similar genetic markers on the Xq28 region of the X chromosome, SUGGESTING key genes resided there."

"The gene or genes in the Xq28 region that influence sexual orientation have a limited and variable impact."

"Not all of the gay men in Bailey's study inherited the same Xq28 region. The genes were neither sufficient, nor necessary, to make any of the men gay."

"The flawed thinking behind a genetic test for sexual orientation is clear from studies of twins, which show that the identical twin of a gay man, who carries an exact replica of his brother's DNA, is more likely to be straight than gay. That means even a perfect genetic test that picked up every gene linked to sexual orientation would still be less effective than flipping a coin."

"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."

"We found evidence for two sets [of genes] that affect whether a man is gay or straight. But it is NOT COMPLETELY DETERMINATIVE; there are certainly OTHER environmental factors involved."

"Last year, before the latest results were made public, one of Bailey's colleagues, Alan Sanders, said the findings could not and should not be used to develop a test for sexual orientation."

"When people say there's a gay gene, it's an oversimplification," Sanders said. "There's more than one gene, and genetics is not the whole story. Whatever gene contributes to sexual orientation, you can think of it as much as contributing to heterosexuality as much as you can think of it contributing to homosexuality. It contributes to a variation in the trait."

"This is not controversial or surprising and is nothing people should worry about. All human psychological traits are heritable, that is, they have a genetic component," he said. "Genetic factors explain 30 to 40% of the variation between people's sexual orientation. However, we don't know where these genetic factors are located in the genome. So we need to do 'gene finding' studies, like this one by Sanders, Bailey and others, to have a better idea where potential genes for sexual orientation may lie."

"Steven Rose, of the Open University, said: "What worries me is not the extent, if at all, to which our genetic, epigenetic or neural constitution and development affect our sexual preferences, but the huge moral panic and RELIGIOUS and POLITICAL AGENDAS which surrounds the question."

.....AND THIS ONE, which at first looks to be Bailey's position, but he did NOT take it further, which is deceptive by omission:

"Sexual orientation has nothing to do with choice," said Bailey. "We found evidence for two sets [of genes] that affect whether a man is gay or straight. But it is not completely determinative; there are certainly other environmental factors involved."

Other factors??? You mean the hormonal influences cause by the mother's stresses and/or resentments in the womb???
Does a mother who takes drugs (heroin, crack, cocaine, etc)during pregnancy set up the 'receptors' to cause the baby to be born with an addiction to those same substances??...The answer is a CLEAR, DEFINITIVE YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that 'genetic'? No, it just makes it clear that the baby is born with a 'choice-less' craving to satisfy the 'receptors' with the drug that it got accustomed to in the womb. It is the same principle. The receptors, once they get fed, not particularly from a 'substance' but rather a 'conditioned' hormone, altered by the effects of resentment/stress WILL have a DIRECT result on the baby!.......and ALL the studies, including this one, point to that direction...but, as the poster commented, on the page of the article:

"You clearly died pretty early on in the article as it repeatedly states that it is very clearly not all in the genes.
I believe there is a comprehension gene also that occasionally goes missing, no need for a genetic test in extreme cases...."

Sorry, NO definitive, conclusive findings in this study to hang one's hat on!


...Oh, and if one can NOT change their sexual preferences, what about:

Michael Glatze (born c. 1975)[1] was co-founder of Young Gay America and a former advocate for gay rights. Glatze received media coverage for publicly announcing that he no longer identified as a homosexual and denouncing homosexuality."

Somehow that keeps getting ignored....it must be that, "...comprehension gene also that occasionally goes missing,..."

"Researchers say it's the first time the entire human genetic makeup has been scanned in search of POSSIBLE genetic determinants of male sexual orientation. The results SUGGESTS that several genetic regions MAY influence homosexuality."
(Gosh, if it was all 'mapped out' you'd think someone would shout out 'Eureka!'....but they didn't...'POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS that MAY..'...sounds more like speculative guessing, to me!..read it again).


http://www.livescience.com/7056-mom-genetics-produce-gay-sons.html

"Maybe everyone could use a gay uncle."(sounds already biased)

"A new study found that homosexual men MAY be predisposed to nurture their nieces and nephews as a way of helping to ensure their own genes get passed down to the next generation.
Research has confirmed that male homosexuality IS AT LEAST PARTLY hereditary – it TENDS to cluster in families,"
(This one starts off being silly!).


http://vigilance.teachthefacts.org/2006/02/gay-chromosome.html

"It wouldn't be right if we didn't mention this new research supporting the HYPOTHESES that sexual orientation has got a genetic component.
New research adds a TWIST to the debate on the origins of sexual orientation, SUGGESTING that the genetics of mothers of multiple gay sons act differently than those of other women."
(More suggestions..).


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xq28

"The 1993 study by Hamer examined 114 families of gay men in the United States and found increased rates of homosexuality among maternal uncles and cousins, but not among paternal relatives. This pattern of inheritance SUGGESTED that THERE MIGHT be linked genes on the x-chromosome, since males always inherit their copy of the x-chromosome from their mothers."
(SUGGESTED that there MIGHT????.....sounds pretty tentative, at best)

Don to himself: "Now go away and play with yourself and stop bothering the adults!"

A lot of 'MIGHTS' and 'MAYBES' and 'SUGGESTIONS'....Do you consider 'MIGHTS' and 'MAYBES' and 'SUGGESTIONS' to be definitive or conclusive????????

No wonder you guys live in a delusional fantasy world!

The fact that objects, when dropped, fall toward the ground TENDS to SUGGEST that there MAY be a force called gravity.

Nobody has tasted it or put it in a test tube, but rational people TEND to FEEL fairly certain that gravity exists.

This one is informative:

..and one more thing, your 'gravity analogy' is off base. Gravity is measurable, to rate of pull, properties of speed, force and we know it to be there, and it can be demonstrated repeatedly. 'The Gene' hasn't even been found yet...however EVERY study, including the ones you posted, all say that there are 'other factors', AND the one that you and Dave both posted said, and I 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."

Greater than the genes??...Did it say that??...Didn't I tell you that over two years ago???

..and it goes on to say(same study), "The gene or genes in the Xq28 region that influence sexual orientation have a LIMITED and VARIABLE impact."

..and then it says, (Now pay attention) "Not all of the gay men in Bailey's study inherited the same Xq28 region. The genes were NEITHER SUFFICIENT, Nor NECESSARY, to MAKE ANY of the men gay."

...and this, "That means even a perfect genetic test that picked up EVERY GENE LINKED to sexual orientation would still be LESS EFFECTIVE THAN FLIPPING A COIN."

...and this one, "...we DON'T KNOW where these genetic factors are located in the genome. So we need to do 'gene finding' studies, like this one by Sanders, Bailey and others, to have a better idea where POTENTIAL genes for sexual orientation MAY lie."

..and this,"We found evidence for two sets [of genes] that affect whether a man is gay or straight. But it IS NOT COMPLETELY DETERMINATIVE; there are certainly OTHER environmental FACTORS INVOLVED."

...and I repeat my ACCURATE commentary to that:

"Other factors??? You mean the hormonal influences cause by the mother's stresses and/or resentments in the womb???
Does a mother who takes drugs (heroin, crack, cocaine, etc)during pregnancy set up the 'receptors' to cause the baby to be born with an addiction to those same substances??...The answer is a CLEAR, DEFINITIVE: YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that 'genetic'?: NO, it just makes it clear that the baby is born with a 'choice-less' craving to satisfy the 'receptors' with the drug that it got accustomed to in the womb. It is the same principle. The receptors, once they get fed, not particularly from a 'substance' but rather a 'conditioned' hormone, altered by the effects of resentment/stress WILL have a DIRECT result on the baby!.......and ALL the studies, including this one, point to that direction..."

Now I've said that to you REPEATEDLY for YEARS now....and the studies have borne that out to be true...they can't put their finger on 'The Gene', but they've already figured out that what I've been saying IS TRUE!!! How come you can't?....I'll tell you why,..because you are trying to fit it into your political spin, and your political spin is NOT TRUE, no matter how much you WANT it to be. It's really as simple as that....AND the study I just quoted you from is from the LATEST study...and you posted it yourself!!!

..and you have the audacity to call me clueless????
You've just been spinning so much that you're dizzy beyond your common sense!...so much that you are NOT comprehending what you say or post for a link!.....(and you accuse me of 'not reading the links'??)
I think that the posted link by Dave and yourself was pretty clear...so clear, that trying to spin it to mean something compatible with your 'mindset' is beyond belief!!

OK...You can go back on your vacation now....

I know I have skimmed rather than tried reading Goofus's diatribe (after all, there is some wet paint to watch dry and I can't do two things at once) but nowhere do I see any acknowledgment of someone's status.

Why would someone wish to be an ex gay? Other than being disturbed by the stigmatisation by nasty people, why would they see their choice of lover as a problem? Regardless of genetics versus conditioning versus choice and the rest of the smokescreen that can be used by either side of the non argument; why would someone wish to alter?

More specifically, what is the agenda behind offering to help people change?

I can see people dye their hair, I can see people lose weight and other changes, but their hair colour is changed, not cured. Losing weight may be a health benefit but isn't curative of anything.

I am married to a slim lady with dark hair. One of my ex girlfriends was a bubbly blonde. Do you think I prayed to be cured of bubbly blondes?

Sicko.

Musket: "More specifically, what is the agenda behind offering to help people change?"

Agenda???....How about just being truthful and NOT turning 'bad science' into political nonsense?
If one subscribes to the political whims, that would mean that being tested for STD's of any sort, is being flaunted as being 'homophobic'.. AND that people who are 'reproductively challenged' (politically correct term for homosexuals) would not, could not seek counseling IF they would want it, because the political winds that are blowing don't believe that homosexuals have, or should have, or can decide not to be homosexual..therefore therapy is either denied or not available.... and those who may direct homosexuals to counseling are hated, called 'bigots', homophobes....when they are the ones who are actually helping them...IF THEY WANT IT!

Agenda??...What's yours?

Reproductively challenged.

So, everybody who can't have children has a disability then? Does that include those who don't want children?

Congratulations. You gave found a term of abuse to throw at gay people. Your bigotry blinkers causing you to cast your slur much wider. Out of interest, a gay man isn't reproductively challenged but like many heterosexual men, chooses not to have children. Although if course many adopt children anyway.


You also seem to have thrown anal sex into the equation. Notwithstanding more women receive anal sex than men, you keep perpetuating the myth that STDs are a gay issue.

You disgusting pervert.

"...one of the things I observed in the early days - and it's still used - and that is that you take someone's argument and then you misrepresent it and misstate and disagree with it. And it's very effective. I've done it myself a number of times. But eventually, eventually people catch on." -Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, speaking at the National Press Club in Washington

Your misrepresenting what I said, and then trying to argue your misrepresentation, as if I said it, reminds me of another bridge Kennedy was on....but then, that's a whole other subject....

where is this sanity place that you come from?

I think you are spending too long on your own. you are thinking too much about things in a way that does not reflect the generality of human experience. its not healthy.

in fact its abit scary. do you mean any harm to gay people ? if not , what is the point of all this pseudo science.

if you have a real interest in genetics - enrol on a college course. scanning the internet for people that support your point of view is no substitute for education. it does involve quite a lot of hard work.

if you get yourself educated and you're still of the same mind. find a regime to work for. Mengele managed it.

Hey! I have a great idea!

They haven't yet found the gene for "handedness" yet, so it's obviously a matter of choice, right?   A left handed lifestyle!

And considering the problems that left handed people cause, like at social occasions where a right handed person and a left handed person keep bumping elbows at a banquet table and things like that…….

Why don't a bunch of us persecute left handed people, look on them with contempt, deny them their civil rights, and insist they be rounded up and "cured" of their perversion?

Don, it doesn't look like you're very good at finding any kind of genes. You can leave that to the politicians!..Stick to chicks in clubs.

Big Al: "...in fact its abit scary. do you mean any harm to gay people ? if not , what is the point of all this pseudo science."

Harm to homosexuals?? Where do you get that??...as to, "...what is the point of all this pseudo science." Exactly! The interpretations of the studies has made it look like 'pseudo science', because, as you have just witnessed, right here, that though the researchers are CLEARLY saying one thing, the political spinners are trying to make it say something else completely opposite! The researchers say "Nope, haven't found the gene yet, gotta keep looking", and the politicos say, "See they found it!"
Is that the kind of political people you want to trust or believe?...about this or ANYTHING???...No matter how they wrap it, with whatever 'good' intentions, they are lying through their teeth...and even got UN-knowledgeable people doing it for them...and with such vitriol and divisive hatred and angst...doesn't THAT bother you?? ....To be on the side of liars?...Shit, I'd be pissed...AND, I'd tell them to knock it off, and give you STRAIGHT INFO, not some made-up bullshit. If you let them get away with that, what else have they deceived you with???...That they are for the 'little guy' and not the corporation/mega banksters???..That they represent you, and YOUR best interests??........You know what? MY best interests lay in being told the truth, and not be stirred up emotionally over such stupid lies and spinning of the truth....Can't they trust the people who believe in them??.. and their 'cause' by giving them the truth???..and furthermore, can we trust them when they are caught repeatedly lying to those who trusted them???
What is this?..Zombies on parade??
