Is a homo gene just in your dreams?? Science magazine has just published a study that undermines the strongest claim of a genetic component in male homosexuality. Researchers from the Department of Genetics at Stanford Medical School and the department of Clinical Neurological Sciences at the University of Western Ontario concluded that data does “not support the presence of a gene of large effect influencing sexual orientation.” In a 1993 study, homosexual activist and researcher Dr. Dean Hamer of the National Cancer Institute suggested a link between genes and homosexuality. Homosexual activists have used Hamer’s research to promote everything from so-called same-sex marriage to hate crimes legislation. Because the new study was larger, including more pairs of homosexual siblings than Hamer’s study did, it had the power to replicate Hamer’s results. But the new study’s authors say that they “found no evidence of linkage of sexual orientation” where Hamer said it should be. The new study shows that Hamer’s activism got in the way of his research. Homosexuality is not in the genes; it’s a choice made in the heart.
