Firstly Rats and humans are two entirely different species … All sexually deviant behavior is, in part, learned. How many of the 'normal' male rats reciprocated when the injected male rat behaved like a female? I assume the males rats would’ve had to been taught how to act sexually with the so-called homosexual rat.
Furthermore such evidence only fortifies the idea that the behavior is an abnormality that was introduced by outside influences ... in this case the injection of hormones.
So therefore it must be a combination of many factors and not merely an issue of genetics or even predisposition.
