>> No, just the best hypothesis at this time. Which is how science proceeds. Do you disagree?

No, but anyone can come up with a hypothesis. The more competent hypothesis -- the one that is more supportable by a mile, is that homosexuality has both a genetic component and an environmental one, and the genetic component just hasn't been found yet.

As of now there is zero scientific proof of any genetic link, which was my original statement. At most it is hypothetical which is not proof or even evidence.

You either follow the science or you follow the religion. Take your pick.

There's a newer set of studies- but this one is pretty good. They're narrowing in on the regions- and there probably are multiple regions involved- probably both in mother and fetus.
