Re: quote. Give us some articles. Show us where scientists have discovered the genetic basis for homosexuality - - no, of course I can read, and your offensive little satire piece did not say that scientists have discovered the genetic basis for homosexuality, you said homophobia, which was fucking stupid even in satire. But to include it in the satire opens the door for an examination of scientific studies on the subject that you just want to dismiss as yucky and unchristian and disordered. And genetic differences HAVE been found between heterosexual and homosexual males. I can go find studies, and just might (I have them at home, unfortunately I'm at work) but since you decided to include genetics in your immature and hateful little slam, you should supply the research studies.

I would bet my house that you did not read the Scientific American article. It goes on at length, repeatedly, how homophobic attitudes are instilled by the reaction of parents and authority figures in a child's life. It says nothing about genetics. Do you really think I'm so stupid that I will accept a list of a google search? My 9-year-old niece could have come up with that list, and then told me what most of the articles were about.
