The Facts on Homosexuality

Top Highlights

“The implication of this view is that because the homosexual cannot change, all aspects of society must change, including education, religion, and law. Biological determinism not only affects our general attitude toward homosexuality but also our approach to counseling and treatment as well. If it is genetic it is useless to try to alter the behavior.” (source)

“Dr. LeVay admitted this was false. The popular press had distorted his findings.^{31” (source)}

“In other words, what if homosexual behavior itself causes minute organic alterations in the body, which are only a posteriori assumed to be a contributing cause to homosexuality? Scientific studies have indicated that behavior itself might cause the size of the neurons to fluctuate, rather than the neurons causing specific homosexual or heterosexual behavior.” (source)

“The next problem with Dr. LeVay's study involves the possibility of researcher bias. Dr. LeVay is openly gay and has publicly acknowledged this. He is also on record as stating that he set out to prove a genetic cause for homosexuality after his homosexual lover had died of AIDS. He was even quoted in an issue of Newsweek as asserting that if he did not find the genetic cause for homosexuality he sought, he would abandon science altogether.³⁶ Newsweek further quoted him as saying he is seeking to "... [promote] the idea that homosexuality is a matter of destiny, not choice" because "it's important to educate society" along the lines of biological influence.” (source)
