>> How about a LINK for that, Dave. From a reputable scientific journal.

Not going there with you, Chris. Any "journal" I would consider "reputable" probably wouldn't be to you.

I'll just say that there have been many conclusive studies of identical twins done. In every study, the odds of a gay identical twin having a gay twin was well below 100%; in some studies as low as 8%. This establishes, as well as it can possibly be established, that there is no genetic "cause" of homosexuality.

There are occasionally claims that a "gay gene" has been found, or one "might have been found". Reality is that none has proved out, and trying to prove that against 10 or more studies of identical twins is a very steep uphill climb.

I'll allow you to google the subject and pick whichever sources you choose. But you get the idea.

If you need for me to provide the names/dates of some of the studies, I will however be pleased to do so.
