New Research Shows Homosexuality Genetic by Peter Moore, London Bureau (London) A new study of research on sexuality over the last 15 years shows that homosexuality is genetic. The study, by Qazi Rahman, a psychobiologist at the University of East London, and Glenn Wilson, a personality specialist from the University of London, examines the work of a number of international researchers in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, genetics, endocrinology and evolutionary biology. It concludes that sexuality is determined prior to birth and is based on a combination of genetics and hormonal activity in the womb. In an interview with The Guardian newspaper Rahman said that the study examined the 1990 work of psychobiologist Simon LeVay that revealed differences in small parts of the brain between gay and straight men. It also looked at 1993 research indicating chromosomal differences between gays and straight men. Since then there has been an "absolute explosion" in research into the area, Rahman told the Guardian, noting that this is the first attempt to put all the separate pieces of research together and analyze it as a whole. Rahman and Wilson also conclude there is no evidence that people could "learn" to be gay. But, the study disputes the figure that roughly 10 percent of the population is gay. It concludes that between 2% to 4% of people are gay and that the figure does not seem to vary across societies. It also notes that while men tend to be either heterosexual or homosexual, with little evidence for true bisexuality, women show more mixed preferences. ©365Gay.com 2005 Socks still got butt like a leather seat... | |

He has his treasure trail waxed down to a fine line! That is the GAYEST thing I've ever seen! As for the research - Funny how they do all these studies on men but no one seems too concerned about what makes a woman a lesbian these days. |

That's like saying skin color is genetic. You need somebody like me to point your fingers at and say, "Hey, Look at that platinum album selling smooth criminal!" | |

Ya know Atlanta is more and more becoming a small time hick town. Backsteet is gone, with the clubs closing at 2:30am it's no longer an all-night party city, straight people taking over midtown. Socks still got butt like a leather seat... | |

i'm sure they will come with something like God made you that way so you have a test and only the faithful will overcome and not act on their nature You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna
