A publication from the American Psychological Association includes an admission that there is no “gay” gene, according to a doctor who has written about the issue on the website of National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality.

The new statement says:

“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. ...”

NARTH documents other evidence of a lack of a “gay” gene, too.

For example, Douglas Abbott, a University of Nebraska professor, concluded, “If homosexuality was caused by genetic mechanisms, their children would be more likely to choose same-sex interaction. But they aren’t more likely, so therefore it can’t be genetic.”

NARTH also rebuts some of the advocacy positions taken by homosexual proponents.

“The term ‘homophobia’ is often used inaccurately to describe any person who objects to homosexual behavior on either moral, psychological or medical grounds,” NARTH explains. “Technically, however, the terms actually denotes a person who has a phobia – or irrational fear – of homosexuality. Principled disagreement, therefore, cannot be labeled ‘homophobia.’”

Now what gay activists? No gay gene!

Principled opposition is NOT homophopbia!

So, is it a lifetyle choice? Yes! Based on an almost irresistible inner desire for intimacy with people of their own gender? Sure! Can it be changed through reparative therapy? The psychologists are unsure, but if this is a psychological problem, as they once called it, then surely it can be helped with therapy.
