So there was a study done where gay sperm and lesbian eggs were used and they produced a straight baby. How is that possible?


2 negatives equal a postitive?

99% of the time i believe its their upbringing that forces them to be gay. I remember their was this kid in my class since second grade. His whole life he was ridiculed and picked on and called gay and force into crying from a young age. In middle school like 80% of the kids would fuck with him and call him gay to the point he'd be screaming " I'm not gay." Well when highschool came around he became open about being gay. So was it the kids picking up the fact that he was gay or did all the ridiculing question his sexuality into his brain forcing him to be gay?

For every kid like that, there are 10 more who are bullied in the exact same way and really are straight. It's a coincidence that you know one who actually turned out gay.

That may be true, but that didn't answer the question of whether he was ridiculed into it or if he has always been gay.

Twin and family research shows that sexual orientation is 50% genetically. The other 50% comes from the development inside the womb. There is no evidence for any suggestion that upbringing after birth will cause children to become homosexual. Children who grow up with homosexual parents are not more often homosexuals themselves.

The main difference physically is found in the hypothalamus. In 1990 Dick Swaab et al found out that the biological clock inside the hypothalamus, a part of the brain heavily involved in sexual orientation, was twice as large for homosexual men.

Later on using scanning, functional differences inside the hypothalamus have been found in relation to sexual orientation. Ivanka Savic uses feromones for her research. She found out that male feromones activate the hypothalamus of homosexual men and heterosexual women in the same way, and the hypothalamus of homosexual men does not react to female feromones.

There are many structural and functional differences in relation to sexual orientation, and they emerge inside the womb, during the second half of the pregnancy.

You know, there is a long-standing argument that many gay people have a history of abuse which caused their homosexuality. This has long-since been debunked. Without knowing that person, I am willing to say that yes, he was always gay and that the bullying had nothing to do with his sexuality. The only effect it may have had is that it made him ashamed of himself for being who he already was.

In a study of nearly 32,000 teens in Oregon, GLB teens (transgendered individuals were not mentioned by the study) were 5.1 times more likely to attempt to commit suicide than straight kids, and in unsupportive environments (lacking Gay Pride clubs, having strict religious upbringing, etc) GLB teens were actually 6.1 times more likely to attempt suicide. The only thing that systemic and pervasive bullying does is cause kids to want to kill themselves.
