Genes linked to homosexuality discovered by scientists

Genes linked to homosexuality have been discovered by scientists in the biggest ever study into the genetic basis for sexual orientation.

For the first time, researchers looked at the complete genome - a person’s entire DNA code - for more than 1,000 gay men and compared it to genetic data from a similar number of heterosexual males.

They discovered that DNA was different for gay and straight men around the genes SLITRK5 and SLITRK6.

SLITRK6 is an important gene for brain development, and is particularly active in a region of the brain which includes the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus is crucial for producing the hormones which control sex drive, and previous studies have shown parts of it are up to 34 per cent larger in gay men....

I read that as SIKELIOT.

Homosexuality, Pedaophilia etc are genetic but they are mostly based on upbringing/environmental or some life event that trigger these genes to turn on in the first place

I don’t hold it against anyone that does, not look down in them, but thank God I don’t.

Also, I think sexuality is mostly nurture

JUST SAYING

That gene thing is almost certainly bullshit.

But still fun to do!
