Swedish study finds homosexuality set in the womb

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7456588.stm

Anyone still think that it's a choice? lol

Anyway, I think this is really interesting. It shows something that decides someones sexual orientation for them.

Any comments?

I've run dry xD;

 

Wow, very interesting article. I do hope they do some more scans than just 100, but that is very intriguing and makes sense why they find hormone reactions different. It definitely would end the debate though. However, I think they should also at sometime scan people who are bi-sexual and people that want sex changes just to see what results would be.

 

XDD

this is.....interesting....to say the least

but tecnically, it says that gay mean have the brain of a heterosexual woman(placed in simple words)

and vice-versa

XDD.

 

How's that funny?

 

I personally always thought it was genetic. I just had a feeling the Y of X chromosome could play a huge effect in sexual orientation. Interesting study though.

 

Very interesting, indeed. o.O

 

i heard about this a while ago, very interesting indeed. i still dont' think it sets it in cement tho.

 

wow...this is indeed a VERY interesting article.

I got shivers and goosebumps just reading it. (these gay and les. things just scare me...)

 

So are you just ignorant or uneducated about gays?

 

Why? Does it bother you that a homosexual women's brain is similar to yours? Don't worry about it, it's a bit obvious you're lacking most of yours anyway.

 

Plz try to keep this thread at a PG level, peoples!

 

what are you talking about? What isn't "pg" about it?

 

.........the whole concept.

 

What you are saying is spam and not needed here. If you had something to discuss, that's fine, Ampex but it is not inappropriate to the Intelligent Discussion area.

 

This was edited for content. The basic gist is what was said above in my post. Let's keep it friendly, guys.

 

*slams face to table* why do I have such a rule-breaking brother? Come on Ampex...you're spamming everywhere. :D Now let's all be friendly :D

This is a very interesting article

 

Yes, it is interesting. However, I don't really think there was ever a question of homosexuality being a "choice". You can't choose your sexual orientation. You're either attracted to men or to women, and that's about it.

 

Well he was referring to an old stereotype that's pretty outdated now that homosexuals chose to be homosexual. It's been kind of disproved for a while now, but this study definitely shows that no matter how you try, you're destined to be a certain sexual orientation.

 

Yeah there are quite a few people out there who still feel that homosexuality and heterosexuality can be changed by simple choices which has been by the scientific community at least, dismissed, but to those who are closed minded, they refuse to see the proof before their eyes. This is intriguing in that it shows some evidence that obviously it is an internal thing to do with the brain etc and hopefully we will learn more in the future. I just do think more studies are required though because there are some unanswered questions in it all.

 

despite all the genetic information, i still don't think it's written in cement even if the genes make it more predisposing for them to be that way
