Many people have been led to believe that much evidence has been found to sustain the gay gene. So with out a doubt there are numerous conclusions on whether or not a person is born gay. In the same article she said, “The bottom line is this: Homosexuals are made, and they can be unmade.” (Ibid) There is no scientific basis for viewing homosexuality as anything other than an acquired sexual dysfunction.” 3 “There is no scientific proof that homosexuality is genetic. On the other hand Linda Bowles, a nationally syndicated columnist commented, Louis Lieberman state in their book entitled “Sex and Morality” that, “The homosexual no more chooses homosexuality than the heterosexual chooses heterosexuality.” 2 This statement was made to defend his actions of signing a bill which legalized civil unions for homosexuals in Vermont.ĭr. From a religious point of view, if God had thought homosexuality is a sin, he would not have created gay people.” 1 Could the gene be a myth or an actual fact? Well to begin, everyone has something to say on this issue including our political leaders like Vermont Governor Howard Dean: “The overwhelming evidence is that there is a very significant, substantial genetic component to it. There is much controversy over whether a gay gene actually exists or not.
I will therefore, seek to see what is actually the truth on this matter are people really born homosexuals? I will look at the controversy on this subject what the media have to say what the scientist have to say what homosexuals have to say and lastly, what God has to say. However, the Biological component has always intrigued me. Out of all the possible reasons that Collins give, I’m can go along with reasons two through five.
I think Collins does a great job with presenting us with the different possible reasons why people could become homosexaulity: 1) Biological Theories, 2) Parent-Child Relationships, 3) Other Family Relationships and Experiences, 4) Other Early Experiences, and 5) Willful Choices. I guess at one point and time I started to believe this very thing because of the way the media was reporting it. I’ve always wondered about people who say they were born gay.
