Homosexual is about genetic or hormons, or what ?

[SkepticThinker]

I think you are blaming God for things Satan and Adam caused. Humans and Satan are indeed to blame for much of the suffering occurring today. The Bible tells us why God has permitted this for a limited time, and how he will reverse all the harm Satan has caused. I think before we criticize anyone, but especially our Creator, we should be sure we have all the facts. As Jehovah asked Job, who could not understand why he was suffering; "Should a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let the one who wants to reprove God answer.” (Job 40:2)

All you've done is reinforced my point for me.

I still find your position lacking any real explanative quality and/or logic.

Yeah, hopefully they'll catch up eventually. It's a bit like the progression from creationism to intelligent design, gradually moving towards evolution.

There are quite a few areas where they need to update. Unfortunately, I am not very patient.

hello all

could hormons effect on genetics , or inverse ?

is the hormons had big rule in this issue (homosexual) ?

iF it's about genetic , so if gay birth baby from woman , or lesbien brith baby from man , so definitly their babies will be homosexual too ? (i mean generation)

someone tell me it's about orient from brain , so it's about hormons then ?

for your opinion , why most of religions of world forbid the homosexual , or don't agree with?

There is no established cause for homosexuality and besides that there may even be multiple or different causes which can be at play. I say this because while there are plenty of scientific studies but yet REPLICATIONS of these studies often fail to yield the same positive results to confirm previous studies. ALL scientific studies should undergo INDEPENDENT replications to ensure that the results of a prior study was done accurately or that the results are correct.

Hormonal theory is about the over or under exposure of prenatal hormones (androgen) to the human fetus during development. Studies of this theory has yielded inconsistent results.

Genetic theory has yielded inconsistent results. The big killer is that identical twins share 100% DNA but yet not all identical twins in the studies share the same sexual orientation. This shows that something other than genes are involved or that genes only play a minimal role.

So in my view, homosexuality is not innate. I'll also add that recent studies have shown that homosexuality (and probably all sexual orientations) are not immutable in that they can changed ON THEIR OWN (not through therapy - not proven) due to environment or biology. Alfred Kinsey has surveyed this fact but then there are studies from psychologist Lisa Diamond and others on 'sexual fluidity'. Dr. Meredith Chivers shows women can become sexually aroused by both genders and by even watching two animals having sex.

Homosexuality probably has various causes, not a single one.

It is however known that hormones are very much an influence in the development of the body characteristics, so much so that transgenders (not necessarily homosexuals) use them to better develop the bodies they need. There are those who believe that second and third sons may receive a higher dosage of female hormones from their mothers and be statistically more likely to develop homosexuality, but I don't think that has been well established.

I recently heard that there may be a difference of brain functioning pattern between males and females, and homosexuality might be a result of said difference occurring in atypical ways.

However, it must be understood that homosexuality is by no means wrong, and certainly not a disease to be "healed". It just isn't.

Homosexuality is "wrong" if a person of that persuasion tries to inflict that
life style upon my lifestyle.
I don't try to influence gay men to "turn to my lifestyle".
To me the notion of a man having sex with another man is disgusting.

Its not always about sex. =)

Really?
Can you elaborate?
There are men I love in the agape sense.
Frankly I "love" my A.A. (recovery) sponsor. We hug when we meet and he kisses
me on the cheek.
I'm NOT offended in anyway and he is NOT being, ah, "suggestive".
Other "macho men" might find my attitude at least unsettling if not questionable.
I'm not concerned about other opinions of "he men".
I know my sexuality quite well and am comfortable with my"self".
Heaven knows my sexual preference has gained me the jealousy of many
men!
Ah...... I was a legend in my own mind.

O.K.
Yes. I get that as I realized what I wrote in my post above.
I love my gay friend and he loves me.
He also loves my significant other. Dolores loves him very much.
He knows I'm not sexually attracted to him.

Well, I'll tell you that I would not let anyone enter my b-hole, because that's not my thing. But that's where I draw the line for myself.

What others want to do with their lives is their business. And since you mentioned love, I think this rhetoric really revolves around who people want to shack up with for the rest of their unholy lives.

If you have this choice to do so with your "significant other," then so can anyone else.

I'd have to say I think it "appears" mostly during the development of brain in womb, but I also believe there are confused people who declare themselves as homosexual or bisexual due to some family issues or other similar things.

 

[Noa]

It is not known how it comes about. There are many theories, none of which are reliable. Despite all of the developments in the last fifty years there is still a great deal we do not know about genetics and the brain. Heck, until recently it was thought that 'gingers' had a recessive gene. That is now being questioned. And that is a much, much simpler topic than same-sex attraction.

It really does not matter except for the sake of pure knowledge and wanting to know more about our species.

There is no conclusive scientific evidence which points to it being a genetic cause, or even a physiological one. It is rather, a psychological by product of society, experience and trauma.
