Department of Psychiatry, State University of New York at Stony Brook, New York 11794, USA
Despite the absence of phenotypic manifestations in alternating generations characteristic of X-linked disorders, a thesis is presented that a major type of Kinsey grades 5 and 6 male homosexuality is determined by a gene in the Xq28 region.

We can all learn from our diversity.
The thoughts you convey with expressions like "very serious biological anomaly" or "biological mishap they have to endure".Quote:

Why are you are so offended by what I write when I am showing you exactly where these expressions originate.Quote:

NIH reprinted in NHB and Lancet.
"In 1991, an autopsy study by Simon LeVay at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego found that part of the brain called the anterior hypothalamus was twice as large in heterosexual men as in homosexual men, suggesting a biological anomaly for homosexuality. Because the gay men were active sexually with other homosexuals is it wise to make a determination that DNA or a genetic alteration causing the individuals sexuality to be altered to such an extent that the simple structure of genetic markers results in the anomaly of homosexuality be it male or female, and sexual attraction to the same sex".
Why are you so avidly aggressive when all I am doing is stating fact. I have said it once and not again. I have no reason nor inclination to have feelings of bigotry towards gay people.
Well I think this little tidbit explains some of the terminology used. If medical publications are still using such terms I'm sure they are struck decade in the past.
