No "homosexual gene" can be found, new study says.

Studies that said that it exists were falsified.

Alfred Kinsey isn't the only homosexual researcher who used biased research and falsified data to promote a personal agenda.  Although Alfred Kinsey was extremely successful in pulling the wool over the eyes of many in the scientific community and although as a result his creative "findings" came to taint the views of many and to a large extent brought about the sexual revolution, his findings have now been thoroughly debunked.  There has probably been no other effort by any other researcher in history that has had such far-reaching social consequences.  However, not all homosexual "scientists" are as successful as Alfred Kinsey was in duping the scientific community, whether they attempted to do so intentionally as Kinsey did or not.  Some get caught in the act before much real harm is done to society.  

Another piece of "research" by gay scientists debunked:

Update 2009 (found June 10, 2009)

It took the American Psychological Association a few years to catch up to the state of the science on sexual orientation, but here is the opinion the APA holds now,

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; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation. (Source: APA -- Sexuality -- Answers to Your Questions For a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality)

That removes all doubt, does it not? It is a totally safe opinion that cannot be proved wrong.  Regardless of what sexual orientation one chose or not, it was either nature or nurture that imbued the individual with it.

New Genetics Study Undermines Gay Gene Theory

Research review by Warren Throckmorton, Ph.D. & Durwood Ray, Ph.D.

Full Story

Note also that the original announcement of the study that Drs. Throckmorton and Durwood reviewed mentions that,

Other researchers involved in the study were Dean Hamer, at the National Institutes of Health; Nicholas Schork and Caroline Nievergelt, at the University of California at San Diego; Michael DuPree, at Pennsylvania State University; and Sven Bocklandt, at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Hamer Hammered by New Scientific Study, FRC Says

"Science Confirms What I've Seen in My Own Life as Well as in the Lives of Thousands of Others Who Have Left the Homosexual Lifestyle," Cantu Says

Full Story

True advocacy researchers never give up, and Hamer keeps hammering away.  One would think that if something as obvious as homosexuality in humans were that natural and genetically determined, by now irrevocable and incontrovertible evidence of those genetic origins had been found.  Perhaps what is at work is simply this:

The receptivity of the great masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan....

The function of propaganda is, for example, not to weigh and ponder the rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.

—Hitler, Mein Kampf, Chapter VI

Update 2006 07 26: Dean Hamer's tendency to jump from insufficient data to conclusions whose ephemeral corroboration by spurious facts evaporates on even slight scrutiny is being examined in regard to another claim by him, namely that Dean Hamer found that genes determine whether we are capable of self transcendence, spirituality that is.  He wrote a book about it, "The GOD gene : How Faith is Hardwired Into Our Genes".  Alas, that claim has little merit when examined with cold logic.  Its substance evaporates and shows itself to be as spurious as did the substance of Dean Hamer's assertion that homosexuality is hardwired.   It appears that genes can't be blamed for all behaviours we wish we could find excuses for.  It simply does not always work to say, "my genes made me do it," when the explanation "the devil made me do it" is deemed no longer valid.

• Homosexuality Again? by J. Budziszewski, who answers questions about homosexuality

In 1972, when sanity still prevailed to a somewhat greater extent in our society, The Merck Manual had this to say in its section on PERSONALITY DISORDERS:

11. Sexual deviations: This category refers to those who repetitively and somewhat compulsively direct their sexual interests toward objects other than the opposite sex, toward sexual acts not associated with intercourse, or toward intercourse only when associated with stylized behavior (e.g., sexual sadism).  The term carries a moral connotation and is somewhat related to cultural norms.  However, it is believed that this behavior reflects at least developmental difficulties, if not psychopathology, and that "deviant" sexual behavior is an attempt to achieve some sexual gratification while avoiding fears associated with usual adult sexual practices." [The Merck Manual, Twelfth Edition, p. 1382]

A full list of diagnostic groups of personality disorders is described in The Merck Manual (only 11 major groups are listed).

It should be clear from this that what determines whether something is proper moral behaviour or not is based on generally accepted social norms.  There is one effective way to make deviant behaviour acceptable:  change the social norms.  That's what the Nazis and the abortionists did to make mass murder acceptable.  If it works with murder, then the same principle can be used with any other social standard.  If we don't like that, then all that is required is for the majority to say "NO!" and to put an end to the tyranny by the minorities who successfully force the acceptance of their deviant behaviour on all of us.

One of the paradoxes of management is this: most employees usually are happier and more comfortable in a well-structured environment than in one that operates with disorder and permissiveness.

— Telephony, Feb. 6, 1978, p. 61 (author unknown)

That principle applies to every sector of society, even in the upbringing of children in the most fundamental environment of all, our families.  Therefore, let's do away with disorder and permissiveness, and let's re-establish order.  We'll all be much happier if we do.  It's a heck of a lot cheaper, too, and it causes far less social devastation!
