...I don't understand that comment. The studies clearly show that homosexuality is physical and not a choice...
you don't wake up one morning and say: you know what, I think I'll start producing more testosterone... especially if, as these studies suggest, homosexuality is a result of the hormones to which you are exposed in the womb...

In the ones involving identical twins, the rate was about 60%, and a few had an even lower rate (meaning if one twin was gay, there was a 60% chance the other was too). If it was genetic, then they both would be straight or gay.</p>
<p>60% is a lot. I don't see how you can dismiss that more than half of people with a gay identical twin were gay. In scientific terms, that is quite a number. By citing it, you are in fact making a strong argument for the other side.</p>
<p>identical twins=identical DNA=identical sexuality
My eyes are open, are yours? If it was only genetic, they both would be straight or gay. Can't believe how zealous people on both sides are about their assertions. So ridiculous.</p>
<p>Not to be too zealous, but I'm just saying that the research suggests a strong genetic factor.</p>
<p>Jonathan K., those studies have been all over the news.</p>
<p>People who claim that there is a genetic link to homosexuality are correct.</p>
<p>I didn't say it was necessarily purely genetic. I am saying that it is biological -- it is physical, and not a personal choice. You can't control your testosterone production any more than you can your melatonin production...</p>
