   He's right, you're wrong.  No baby ever born came out the womb wanting a   
   dick up the ass.

   APA  revises 'gay gene' theory

   The attempt to prove that homosexuality is determined biologically has   
   been dealt a knockout punch. An American Psychological Association   
   publication includes an admission that there's no homosexual "gene" --   
   meaning it's not likely that homosexuals are born that way.   
      
   For decades, the APA has not considered homosexuality a psychological   
   disorder, while other professionals in the field consider it to be a   
   "gender-identity" problem. But the new statement, which appears in a   
   brochure called "Answers to Your Questions for a Better Understanding   
   of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality," states the following:   
      
     "There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons   
   that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian   
   orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic,   
   hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual   
   orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to   
   conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular   
   factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play   
   complex roles...."   
      
   That contrasts with the APA's statement in 1998: "There is   
   considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including   
   genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a   
   person's sexuality."   
      
   Peter LaBarberaPeter LaBarbera, who heads Americans for Truth About   
   Homosexuality, believes the more recent statement is an important   
   admission because it undermines a popular theory.   
      
   "People need to understand that the 'gay gene' theory has been one of   
   the biggest propaganda boons of the homosexual movement over the last   
   10 [or] 15 years," he points out. "Studies show that if people think   
   that people are born homosexual they're much less likely to resist the   
   gay agenda."
