This leads me to believe homosexuality is a result of nurture, not nature.

First let me start off by saying I'm not against homosexuality but I have a problem with people saying it could be caused by genetics. The laws of natural selection would never let something like homosexuality to occur in a creature's DNA. If a person was born with a gene that made it unwilling to reproduce it wouldn't be able to pass it on to it's offspring. While I admit the gene could be recessive in some people it would have eventually died out.

I reviewed a best selling book here...
The BRAIN that Changes Itself.
www.abovetopsecret.com...
In this Norman Doidge MD explains that pleasure and the activity that produces it become associated in the brain map...
...suggesting that 'gayness' has its roots in experience.
He also suggests that the 'brain map' is more plastic than anyone has previously thought...
...so that associations can be changed...
...so that people can become 'ungay'...
...its all a matter of changing to another pleasure/association and doing it long enough to change the brain map.
So self-identity as gay may be the only real thing holding people in this behaviour.

Sometimes, for sure. Maybe even often.

furthermore.....i view homosexuality as a cleansing process......gay people have horribel genes.....so they dont get 'passed' on.
really i think gay people must have something wrong with there genes......what better way to insure it does not get passed on to the next generation then to make the person not sexually attracted to the opposit sex...you know...the normal staple part of our society.

I did 12 years with multi-national Pharma...
...Psych conferences always had lots of guys who looked like Freud...
...just like in Orthopaedic conferences most were built like front-row forwards.
