This study does not prove that people aren’t born that way. Of course there is no “gay gene.” That would make no evolutionary sense. It has to be a complex of them that, combined, cause it. Plus this seems to ignore pre-natal environment. There’s some evidence that this is a cause as well.

What is the worst case? The latest from Professor Curry.
Is it science, or religion?
I’d say that an undisprovable hypothesis would fall into the religious category. Though, of course, CAGW is that way, too.
