>> Largest study of gay brothers homes in on 'gay genes'

What you posted was an effort by the anti-science left wing to somehow offset the the large number of studies of identical twins.

Obviously, you're dealing with statistical self-selection in the study you linked.

It is really not something I want to get into in depth with a scientific nitwit. However, if you are interested I suggest you pursue the numerous studies and at least read their abstracts.

You cannot establish the existence of a "gay gene" by examining two gay brothers. Because, of course, you have to be able to isolate the gene that is NOT present in those who are not gay.

There have been efforts to "adjust" the truth through various means.

But the bottom line is that until you can explain how two brothers with identical DNA and normally identical early environments, end up one homosexual and one heterosexual. Until scientists can explain this away there cannot be scientific proof of a genetic basis for homosexuality.

Sorry, that's the end of the argument.
