Too late,
The lie of it all, has passed with flying rainbow flags. And from the start, it is good to acknowledge the difference between persecution of homosexuals, and standing up to a political organisation, banded together with the commonality of homosexuality. It is also timely, to object to lurid public displays of the act of homosexuality, in street parades which celebrate it. It is again timely, to object to the creeping influence of the mal-practice and its overweighted political influence, seeping into our children's education as a part of the ciriculam. And it's also timely for homosexuals themselves to acknowledge that the political wing of their cause, is a negative social influence on a stable and worthwhile society in which the other ninety eight percent of the sexually normal populace live. In short, it's time to stop freeloading, and look for ways to change their own behaviour, rather than attempting to change the behaviour of the vastly normal other, by forcing acceptance of their abnormality. Their never was and never will be a genetic excuse for homosexuals. Eventually as in past history, it will be universally accepted as a mental illness and treated with some compassion by the society which, at the moment, they seek to overturn.

A mental illness, Dan? That should go down well with the ranters and ravers:).

Being indoctrinated by the deranged does not equal mental illness !

Dear NNS,
Thank You for bringing this to our attention. Medical X Press and Science Mag. publishers have a reputation for publishing new studies and new ideas that are outside the general consensus. This is a good thing because it may encourage these studies to be peer reviewed and further tested. The following link gives more: http://scientificamerican.com/article/massive-study-finds-no-single-genetic-cause-of-same-sex-sexual-behaviour However, the study does point out that this is a complex issue and that genetics does play a part in sexual attraction. The consensus is that more studies need to be done. Posted by Foxy, Sunday, 15 September 2019 11:48:10 AM

Sorry. I'll try again with the link:

Conversely according to the article above, "genetics account for between 8% and 25% of a person's same-sex attraction, taking into account the thousands of genetic traits ultimately involved in shaping a person's sexual desires." And "It's effectively impossible to predict an individual's sexual behavior from their genome."
Adding to the issue is the limitations of the study. Snopes.com reports on this study ending with some limitations within the study. Including questioning the survey questions in bio bank to identify who is homosexual and who isn't. Nonetheless researchers apparently agree that this study does not show that genitive determines sexuality. http://www.snopes.com/news/2019/08/30/genes-sexual-orientation-study/
The study was published on Sciencemag and can be found here. Though a subscription is needed to view the full text instead of the abstracts.
