VBH, there is a lot of research being done now about homosexuality. We know for sure that there are areas in the brain that are differently sized and shaped in male homosexuals, and that there are physiological differences in the inner ear. There are scientists now interviewing homosexuals, and going up family trees to see where there were other homosexuals in their families. As I said before, the Health Magazine article wrote about a scientist who has observed that this is inherited from the mother's side of the family, only. I think that within a few years, we will have a body of evidence which will be conclusive.

Hence your own words state that the "studies" really arent sure either....... Not what I mean at all. What I said was that studies indicate that nearly always homosexuality is genetic. As are many other predispositions. I remember reading a rather poignant letter written by a woman who'd had nine sons, all of whom were gay. Doesn't always work that way--I know a pair of identical twins, one of whom's gay, the other not--but most of the time it does. Really. It's not something you choose, as if you were deciding whether to buy a convertible or a, um, hardtop... As I said before, the gay men I know all say they realized they were homosexual from a very early age. It had nothing to do with encounters with gay adults.
