So, is there a Gay gene ... has some virus invaded the genome of our generations ... is it a combination of 'deeply weird' genes ... is it the result of evolutionary RNA baggage ...

Fascinating isn't it.

What the article proves is that, perhaps, immutability is an impossibility because of the complexity of variables involved ... ergo it's not as simple as being born gay!

I don't care how they got there. Nor do I believe every gay is a product of abuse any more than I believe every heterosexual or asexual person was.

So you are like UtahDan but on the other side of the issue -- the 'how' is irrelevant!
