[quote=PYGRANT,255562]This is the rest of my thoughts - I ran over 3,000 words, so had to do it this way. It reminds me of how for forty years American medical students were taught that the reason African-Americans (who as a group have about 60% African genes, 30% European genes, and 10% "other" - Asian, Native American, etc). have smaller birth weight babies was because it was genetic (meaning basically that if researchers corrected for every factor that they could think of: income, education, pre-natal care, nutrition, etc.), black Americans still had smaller babies. What put this idea to rest was a comparison of birth weights done in the Cook County area (Chicago) that showed that African born black women and caucasion women had identical infant birth rates, and that African-American babies were still significantly lighter than either. So much for it being due to genetics. Environement has dramatic effects on how genetic potentialities are played out, which is just a long way for me to say that we shouldn't assume that some of the negative behavior that a certain portion of the homosexual populations displays shoud automatically be assumed to be due to their gender preference or even the genetic or interuterine influences that may affect that preference choice. Thanks for listening, if anyone is interested I can probably find the citations for the articles I mentioned briefly above Bob Grant, (and thanks again Chynagyrl for being able to discuss this intelligently and with so little excess ego.)[/quote]
