Hello NB users,
Let me start off by saying that I am in no way shape or form disrespecting or "passing judgement" on the sexuality of any one, what you like and who you do is really none of my business or my concern.
I am however, in a state of confusion as to how the justification of genetics works in this case. I do understand a lot about science and genetics and personal choices and the feeling of un-acceptance. I do not see how the issue of "sexuality"(the preference of gender in a mate or life-partner) has anything to do with genetics or heredity especially when used as an explanation for sexual preference (which is often the case now-a-days, as people use the "born this way" reasoning). I am also not saying that it is not present from/at birth.
The reason I say this is, according to genetics, or more specifically hereditary genetics and/or traits, states that hereditary genes are passed from parent to offspring and in the case of atavism, it can skip generations. Now, understanding that should mean, that if homosexuality is genetic then there should be previous examples of that trait or gene present in the homosexual's ancestry ( ie: if your homosexual then some where in your ancestry, there should be a homosexual predecessor).
Now I am aware that the problem that immediately arises, is a homosexual ancestor that doesn't show such behavior. Also that throughout time there have been societies that allowed and/or accepted that behavior. so the fact that your grandma or grand dad did not "come out of the closet" has been taken into perspective. That still doesn't totally justify the thought, as science has broken the genome pairing of almost all the creatures on this planet humans included.
So basically if homosexuality is genetic then why hasn't the "homosexual" gene been identified especially when you can see evidence of homosexual coupling in other species on this planet? Also in regards to the genome understanding we can now see how life has evolved from one form to another in the "life" of this planet.
Any way I know that I am not speaking to the top of their field geneticists here but I figured the subject matter would be handled a little better here then just randomly posted on the web. If I receive enough interest in this matter then I may take to a larger platform in the web, who knows I may take it to the press or something. I had to start somewhere.
Anyway what are your thoughts on the genetic position in this case NB users?
