Homosexual Behavior Largely Shaped By Genetics And Random Environmental Factors

By: Jonathon Springer

Scientist believe that some of the main reasons for people practicing homo sexuality are their genetics, and the environmental factors they are in. When the scientist are searching for an answer to this they are trying to find a “gay gene” or a environmental factor that plays a role in this. Scientist in in Stockholm did a study on 3,826 same gender twins, and asked a series of questions dealing with relationships between same-sex, and opposite-sex and they said that 35% of these were because of genetics. A second study showed that 64% of the twins were homosexual because of their environment when they were growing up (The way their parents raised them). Overall scientist have not found a specific gene leading up to the discovery why people practice homosexuality, but most scientist believe it is genetics anyway.

After reading this article and them doing studies about homosexuality, I still don’t believe that the reason is because of genetics. Personally I think environmental factors could play a small role in them being gay, but they cannot point to that. The reason I believe they are homo sexual because they chose to be. God gave us free will do whatever we want, and some people have taken that and turned it into something evil. Overall God made us to like the opposite sex and not the same.
