Slimebeast, here's the focal point of your argument.

Your reactions to sociological behaviors (such as homosexuality) are already pre-determined according to your DNA.

You haven't provided a lick of solid evidence (not questionnaires that don't even delve into the genetics aspects), I want proof, solid, concrete PROOF that this is even REMOTELY true.

Wrong. A twin study is an extremely strong genetic aspect.

Let me lay it out for those who might not get the point of twin studies:

* Identical twins = identical genome.

* You split the twins in separate groups. Each pair of twins were separated at birth or at a very young age, and thus have been influenced by different environmental factors. 

* Any statistically significant similarities found between the groups - whatever parameter you decide to study; traits such as body length, disease, success in education, religious activity, criminal behaviour, happiness, homosexuality - can be attributed to inheritance.

* Any differences between the groups can be attributed to environmental influence.

So for this study, you got 4,000 twins that were separated at birth.

I don't buy that. For a minute.

Well of course that makes sense. But since the twins were NOT separated, you can't determine which was the root, genes or environment! That makes the whole study invalid.
