I can't believe what assholes those commenters are. Even when I was a fundamentalist and believed (begrudgingly) homosexuality was a sin, I could never bring myself to express that at all, let alone as passionately as these idiots.

Would be interesting to know just what does "cause" homosexuality in humans other than making guesses regarding population density, or some of the pseudo reasons (past life etc etc)

Really, if this is the hill to die on for fundamentalist Christianity, it'd be for the best if it died out.

Meh, we talking about the same jackasses that -already- claim that we are born into sin? 
Like anything else, no matter which way this pans out motivated christards will be falling all over themselves to claim that the findings support their articles of faith.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Original topic aside, Kichi, I love your new banner 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
