ARGUMENT #1-A: Simon LeVay And the Hypothalamus
DISPROVEN 17% OF LEVAY'S FINDINGS CONTRADICT HIS OWN CLAIMS.
ARGUMENT #1-B: Twins BY BAILEY&PILLARD
DISPROVEN.First, Pillard and Bailey's findings actually indicate that something besides genes must account for homosexuality. If 48% of identical twins, who are closely linked genetically, do NOT share the same sexual orientation, then genetics alone CANNOT account for homosexuality
, all of the twins Pillard and Bailey studied were raised in the same household.
ARGUMENT #1-C: Genes
is illogical in that it assumes inborn means normal or morally acceptable.That assumption is faulty, for 2 reasons:
First, "inborn" and "normal" are not necessarily the same
Second, inborn tendencies towards certain behaviors (like homosexuality) do not make those behaviors moral. They have also found that obesity, violence, alcoholism and adultery are found to be inborn from parents.Surely we're not going to say they are legitimate?
