Pregnant women who take slimming pills 'are more likely to have gayBy Robert Matthews, Science Correspondent
Just more evidence of sexuality is more a matter of biology, not choice.
I'm inclined to lean toward both. Proclivity + culture = personality, briefly; and if one's sexual orientation can be said to be part of one's personality, it fits.
I looked at the principal researcher's web page. It did not inspire confidence.
Any chance you could pass along the URL? I'd like to see what his previous studies look like as well.
I'm not arguing that sexual orientation is a lifestyle choice, of course,
just arguing for not believing everything that a science reporter writes.
:-)
Good thing. :D (Agreed on the conclusion.)
I don't even know what "lifestyle choice" has to do with sexual orientation. I've been involved in nonheterosexual culture for decades now and have seen no evidence whatsoever of the "gay lifestyle" of which I hear mention. Perhaps its discussed at the same meetings they hold to talk about the "homosexual agenda".
;)
And as for choice ... well. Given the seven hells that get dumped on gays and lesbians. doesn't it seem odd that anyone would claim they *chose* their orientation?
