The Large One
Who's Next?
nope. I think it's far more nature than nurture.
Stands to reason - otherwise a gay person would have all gay brothers and sisters.
If we are born with a 'gay gene', then surely the inheritence of that gene through birth would be far higher - especially within siblings? Not necessarily, obviously, but the opposite argument can be made. By the same token, I could also infer from that that, assuming we all have the same experiences and operate within the same environment that we would all respond in exactly the same way. The point is, of course, we don't.
As an example in its crudest form, for instance, I could sit next to my brother on a rollercoaster. He'd love it - I'd hate it. Or, I could sit and watch the Albion play with him, and we could argue the toss as to whether we enjoyed the game or not, or who played well and who didn't...
There is no hard and fast scientific evidence (it's mostly anecdotal or political) to support the theory that you're born gay. If nothing else, there's an over-simplification of the sexual orientations being either straight or gay. Is there, for instance, a genetic code which makes people have a sexual preference for, say, blondes or redheads or short people or beards or stuffed toys or blow-up dolls or animals or none of the above or all of the above or a complicated combination of the above? If so, has it been found yet?
