I still don't have it right.
One last try:

Hi
Foxy,

" ..... genetics does play a part in sexual attraction."

Of course it does: it's called an urge towards 'reproduction', or at least the foreplay to it. Perhaps you're right, a half a million in a survey may not be enough, but as 'a complex issue', further research would need to isolate the factors which play a part in specifically heterosexual and homosexual attraction (or both), if they're are any.

Regards,

Joe

Well the homosexual community better hope there is no gay gene or genes.

Because if it were proven to exist, there'd be a whole bunch of regimes around the world doing enforced genetic testing and a whole bunch of buildings would be getting used for purposes they weren't designed for....

Equally there'd be a very high percentage of pregnant parents getting genetic testing at ten weeks and a marked increase in demand for abortion services.

If there were a 'gay' gene it'd be 'evolved' out of existence in a real big hurry. A few labs around the world would keep samples of the gene in a 'frig next to their sample of small pox, just for experimental purposes. (smile)

According to Science News (August 29th 2019) there apparently
is no evidence that a gay gene exists. Instead the claim is
that its a combination of many small genetic factors and
environmental, social, and cultural factors which may combine
to influence sexual behavior researchers say.
