Numerous studies have been conducted trying to link a persons sexuality with a specific gene. No study has been found to be conclusive as of yet. To date most scientist say it may be due to environmental issues. Again, this is not 100% conclusive either.

No. There isn't a "gay gene" either. I'm afraid human sexuality, even from a purely genetic standpoint, is a bit more complicated than one gene that's 'switched' one way or the other.
Want proof? One bisexual, transgendered, or asexual person is all the proof you need that it's not that simple.
This is NOT to say that genetics have NOTHING to do with sexual orientation, because they almost certainly do. Check my source for a small sample of the research showing that there is indeed at least SOME gentic component involved.

Possibly.
Interesting that you ask that too, since so many simply assume being straight is genetic.
Just as handed-ness is assumed to be genetic as well.
There's never been a great discovery of a handed-ness gene either...but noone seems to question that.

I doubt it....but then I don't believe that there's a gay gene either

XD? You site Simon LeVay as one of your sources. No one could replicate his work. You almost had me until that.

Nope, from the pics I've seen, they're all pretty curly ;-)

no, because you can't make any activist groups or minority tax rightoffs for it
