Put simply, Wilson and Rahman suspect that some male foetuses absorb low amounts of testosterone in certain parts of the brain; full absorption is needed for full masculinisation. “In a foetus which has a genetic predisposition to be gay, these receptors are not as effective at soaking up testosterone. The result is that this slightly insensitive part of the brain follows the default development route, which is female.”

REPLY: As mentioned in the threads I provided, being gay was once considered a mental disorder, but was later changed in the books the head doctors publish; not because of any new medical evidence or scientific studies..... but by pressure from so-called "Gay rights" groups.
Ten years of looking and they gave up in the search for a "gay gene." It most definately is a choice; One is not "born" a homo.
I'm looking for the link, but new evidence suggests that being homo is actually a birth defect caused by a lack of some brain protein. I'll check on the link, but by all means read the links I provided, above, then tell me it has no effect on society.

One percent of GDP in 2001 equaled about $102 billion. Since gays account for somewhat over half of those suffering from AIDS, at least half of this total or $51 billion was the cost of sodomy-that-led-to-AIDS. So the ‘gay sodomy tax' for AIDS alone in 2001 was about $359 for every U.S. worker. In 2002, the sodomy tax was a little bit more.
At present, about 6,000 males-who-have-sex-with-males [MSM] a year die of AIDS and about 20,000 MSM per year are getting infected with HIV. Obviously, unless the costs of medical treatment and other AIDS-related expenses drop significantly, the prospects loom for AIDS to cost appreciably more GDP in the future.

".... How about quoting the figures for the other victims of HIV? Or would that interfere with your rant?"
REPLY: Facts and figures equates to a "rant?" Again, those would increase the costs to society above that mentioned in the links.

"How many gay guys do you know? On actual first-name terms."
REPLY: Irrelevant to the issue, but to answer, maybe 7.
".... Homosexuality is not a lifestyle choice."
REPLY: What don't you understand? ..... other than the very small amount of those as mentioned in the article about the brain protein, there's NO evidence that support it being gene based." After ten years they stopped looking for the "gene" that causes it, although some still say it's the cause.
".... And what about the cost to the national economy caused by sex-workers who contract HIV....?
REPLY: With all of the precaitions, that doesn't happen often, but it only ADDS to the costs...
".... intra-venous drug users who contract HIV, medical personnel who contract HIV?"
REPLY: Again, minimal compared to the % of that caused by homo's, and again, it adds to the cocts provided in the links.

It is a choice, why are gay men more pronounced in their flaunting of thier feminine features. They are purposely making an effort to show those behaviors. Women do not even have that many features, yet gay men take those and try their hardest to show them, clearly a lifestyle choice

".... Your continued use of that word is becoming increasingly tiresome and tiring. I wonder, will you be offended if I begin greeting you with the words "Hey there, redneck hick."
REPLY: So... I prefer to use the correct term.. the one used BEFORE changes made to the dictionary by maybe 3% of the population.
No, I wouldn't be offended.. you can use what terms you wish, preferrably based on insight and knowledge gained from a meaningful interaction to better know my values, thoughts and personality.
