Homosexual Discussion ForumWhy would a guy like a guy and a girl like a girl?If you took the time to read that article about sheep you would have found that the researchers speculate that inbreeding is what has caused a possible gene mutation. Animal studies used to substantiate homosexuality as "normal" ignore that some animals mate for life, some animals are loners and promiscuous, some animals kill for food, some animals kill the young so a female will go into heat, animals lack a social consciousness and the ability to make moral decisions. Human behavior can mimic animal behavior. Some social animals like apes will assume a sexual poster before the alpha male to demonstrate subservience and does not necessarily indicate homosexual tendencies. What is ignored by many is that this same behavior is found in ancient times when a defeated general would show subservience to his conquering by taking a passive sexual posture before his conqueror again to publicly demonstrate his subservience to the stronger male. Dean Hamer’s published study has been discounted by other molecular geneticists for lack of sound science. He did not have a control group and limited his gene research only to gay men who had a maternal gay uncle. Hamer’s subsequent studies failed to substantiate his first study. BTW if you don’t know who Dean Hamer is it was his study published in the Journal of Nature that caused all the gay gene media coverage in the early 90’s. No ethical molecular geneticists will unequivocally state that homosexuality is genetic. You reference to brain differences is probably in reference to Simon Le Vay’s discounted theories that a portion of the hyper-thalamus in gay men is the same as that of women. Since the only way to measure the hyper-thalamus is to dissect it and all of Le Vay’s available cadavers died from AIDS and other diseases that can affect the brain neuroanatomists have debunked this theory. MRI’s have shown the brain activity of men and women to be different however I have yet to read any research that shows MRI’s of gay men are similar to those of women. On the other hand on-going psychological studies have shown that some people develop gay tendencies due to home environment and personality. These studies have shown that abuse (emotional, physical, and sexual) can contribute to fear, anger, and/or bitterness as well as other attitudes that result in the sexualization of normal human emotions that focus on their own gender. It has also been shown that how a child perceives his/her environment can affect the development of same sex attractions; in other words the abuse does not have to be real. |
