Gayness - Nature or Nurture?

[Fran]

I think it's very hard to draw a line in the nature nurture debate.

In my opinion, genes give you a framework with various preferences and .. (insert the opposite of preference here). There for if you have certain genes and the environmental conditions are correct then you will become Gay.

And anyway is being gay a simple switch or more of a sliding scale. For example you may like tomboys or more butch girls, surely that is a small step towards gay, what about bisexuals.

What about doggers who thrill at the prospect and actuality of being discovered?

Wait, I've said too much.

Zeity knows of some good sites in Neath Port Talbot.

Why should a persons sexual preference be of interest to someone else?

If, even when expressed in private, exclusively heterosexual behaviour causes harm to society, then it is of concern to everyone in that society.

Did you mean homosexual there?

Anyway, as long as each person keeps their sexual prefernces to themselves and harm no-one else I couldn't care less whether a person's sexuality is governed by their innate nature or their upbringing.

There's also evidence that birth order has some effect in males homosexuality, whereby if a women gives birth to a number of boys in succession, the younger ones are increasingly likely to be homosexual...

Hanson! I knew it.

Also some small differences in brain development have been found between male hetero and homosexuals.

Smaller brains?

I've spent too much time on here today - I read that as "Sometimes people need a good hammering!"

There I was, all prepared with a witty and amusing comment, but it's all to waste now.
