Anyone know the latest research on why people born as a gay?

Answer 1

An October 2004 scientific research publication stated that scientists at the University of Padua have found that women tend to have more children when they inherit the same genetic factors linked to homosexuality in men. This fertility boost more than compensates for the lack of offspring fathered by gay men, and keeps the “gay” genetic factors in circulation. Mothers of gay men produced an average of 2.7 babies compared with 2.3 born to mothers of straight men. And maternal aunts of gay men had 2.0 babies compared with 1.5 born to the maternal aunts of straight men.

Another study published in Human Genetics in February 2006 examined X chromosome inactivation in mothers of gay sons and mothers whose sons were not gay. Normally, X chromosome inactivation occurs at random: half of the cells in a woman's body will have one X chromosome inactivated, while the other half inactivates the other chromosome. Researchers found that in about a quarter of mothers who had at least two gay sons every single cell in these women inactivated the same X chromosome while only 4 percent of mothers with no gay sons showed this type of extreme skewing.

A Canadian university study published in June of 2006 stated that, although researchers have known for years that a man's likelihood of being gay rises with the number of older biological brothers, that the new study found that the so-called "fraternal birth order effect" persists even if gay men were raised away from their biological families.

Answer 2

I do not understand the fascination with this question. It is asked over and over (ad nauseum) again in here.

I imagine medical science will eventually find the answer as to why heteros are born hetero and why gays are born gay.

We are all just people with feelings, a need to be loved and accepted, a need to socialize, etc.

Spread the love - look for similarities instead of getting hung up on differences. The world will be a better place if we can all strive for that.

Peace.

Answer 3

there is no , I repeat NO research that proves that people are born gay or that it is genetic. However, with over 10,000 exgays in the USA there is plenty of proof that it is a choice.

Answer 4

Most gay people come from divorced homes raised by their mothers. Some were sexually abused as children.

There is very little evidence to say it's genetic.

Answer 5

Not born gay. Never saw 2 toddlers not like the opposite sex!

Answer 6

we are all born happy
