[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know but I read the being gay comes through the mother's genes anyway, if that's the issue.[/quote]

That sounds fake. No one knows how people become gay or even if it is genetic versus environmental[/quote]

I'm not a scientist. That's just something I heard.

"The work has yet to be published, but confirms the findings of a smaller study that sparked widespread controversy in 1993, when Dean Hamer, a scientist at the US National Cancer Institute, investigated the family histories of more than 100 gay men and found homosexuality tended to be inherited. More than 10% of brothers of gay men were gay themselves, compared to around 3% of the general population. Uncles and male cousins on the mother's side had a greater than average chance of being gay, too."[/quote]

Here's another one:

If there's a maternal link, I think it's just as likely to be related to abnormal gut flora (which almost every woman has these days due to the unnatural way we live) than genetics per se. I don't know enough about epigenetics, but I heard that they're heavily influenced by many factors including gut flora.[/quote]
