I don't see one genetic or scholarly study to suggest the original premise of this post. None are cited, nor do any credible such studies actually exist. There are over 70,000 genes and cyto-genes; we've not touched on a lot. To purport that there is evidence at all of something that may or may not have been recently mapped or discovered could affect human behavior such as sexuality is premature.
That said, why does science even have to be included in the discussion? I think people should just let people have their own lives and beliefs given that they keep them to themselves. The Abrahamic religions all condemn homosexual behavior, but people have adapted a more loose translation and application in many sects. Can you really force someone on the far right to accept your way of life and beliefs while persecuting their belief system?
Frankly, the problem always seems to be that human beings aren't okay with being "content". Pride is the same beast it has always been, and in many colors and shapes: patriotism, gays and lesbians, black pride, white supremacy... etc etc. We aren't okay as a species just being, we have to be being something of great significance. It's our own arrogance that causes these issues to arise on all fronts.
Just be okay with being.
We aren't all that different from atoms and particles--to make light you have to agitate an electron, knocking it off its orbit, and as it returns it releases a photon. Sound familiar? We're all just forms of energy, and in our great complexity, when agitated from our own personal moral and ethical orbit, we give off our own wavelength of foulness in retaliation. Unfortunately, ours is much more like gamma radiation in many cases: harmful and will keep going on almost infinitely.
