Scientists now know that both male and female homosexuality is genetic. They also know that men’s and women’s brains operate differently. Now they’ve discovered that gays of one sex have brains that function like straight people of the opposite sex, further suggesting that homosexualityis caused by genetic factors, and is not a matter of choice.

A 14-year-old-boy was killed for the crime of being a homosexual by the Iraqi police. Despite spending billions of dollars to set up a government and police force in Iraq, we clearly have not made much progress in changing the hearts and minds of Iraqis.

We’re currently fighting a war in order to bring the right to pursue happiness to all Iraqis. We need to extend this right to our gay friends as well.”

We’ve written before on these pages about how biologists arebecoming convincedfrom their animal studies, that homosexuality is programmed into a person (especially a male) and is not a "choice." Female homosexuality may be due to hormones, but scientists aren’t sure yet. Now there is even more evidence of a gay gene.
