Arguments Against the “Gay Gene”

I hate these arguments, because more often than not I come out looking like a homophobe. But I am relatively pleased to see that some folks are taking my white papers seriously enough to use them to substantiate arguments. This paper pm the non-validity of the “gay gene” specifically was geared towards the Catholic Medical Assoication’s stance on homosexuality and the research that had been performed prior to the March 2003 paper “Homosexuality and Hope.”

Sure it’s bound to rile some folks up, but this is where the scientific findings are leading us. The “gay gene” argument simply doesn’t hold water, and there isn’t much else you can say to folks who want to enlist genetics to the homosexual cause.

Now this doesn’t mean that I have some hidden anti-gay agenda. In fact, I really could care less what people do because its not my business. Just as long as it’s not hurting anyone else, the issue is between you and God. Personally, being a Catholic, the matter is quite settled that it is an disordered act. But that’s me, and I can argue all day long against it, but at the end of the day I can’t force one to accept my beliefs. All I can do is be a good representative of what I believe, and that’s all I am trying to accomplish with the paper.

Cheers!
