An abstract of the same half-done study Tejek linked to, just regurgitated.

The important point is that the existence of these points is not conclusive, which even the authors said in the abstract you linked:

"Results, especially in the context of past studies, support the existence of genes on pericentromeric chromosome 8 and chromosome Xq28 influencing development of male sexual orientation."

The use of the word "influencing" is specific; it does NOT mean "determining", and the use of the term "support the existence of" is like the term "is consistent with." It does NOT mean "we have found that sexual orientation is determined by ..."

I'm astonished at your lack of understanding of the scientific method. Let me know when you have something more definitive.
