[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]Not genetic. In utero hormonal balance. The big difference? To the extent that homosexuality is biological in origin, it most likely isn't inheritable. However, I remain convinced that homosexuality isn't purely biological in origin. I know gay people who say it isn't a choice, and gay people who say it totally is for them. Amberglow: if my memory of Breedlove/Jordan's research into this is correct, then the hormonal balance in question is a fairly simple proposition provided there is close monitoring. Except in cases of extreme malpractice it seems like it would be reasonably non-threatening to both participants. As far as the biological component goes, there's not likely to ever be a 'cure' but the vaccine doesn't seem like it would be terrifcally complicated or dangerous. I think our society will be somewhat poorer if homosexual people are all but eliminated, but as you just said - no mother wants to make their life harder, and I think that unfortunately most would opt to have straight children. posted by Ryvar at 3:37 PM PST on December 31[/quote]
