I've cited them time and again.

There are numerous studies based on identical twins. I have posted them here in the past. You can easily look at them by googling "homosexuality not genetic."

google.com

You cannot account for identical twins, one gay, one straight, when the numbers are essentially the same in the general population (7% of males gay, 5% of females).

Also CJ clearly doesn't understand this (and I know you think he is a scientific god), but the following line:

"The study detailed an in-depth analysis of blood and saliva samples taken from 409 pairs of openly gay brothers, including non-identical twins, from 384 families. The only common characteristic shared by all 818 men was being gay."

just doesn't prove anything. You have to compare these gays with a control group that are not gay and determine whether straights have the same characteristics. You can't just say, "Oh, all these gays had characteristic c thus characteristic c identifies gays."

This doesn't really seem complicated to me.
