The Great Gay Debate - Are Gays Born? Or, are they Made? Scientific Evidence Out NOW!

In a startling disclosure, the PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) journal revealed that a person’s sexual orientation is set in the womb and not in the open world out there! The journal, while publishing the results of a Swedish study went on to conclude that the brains of gay people appeared similar to that of straight men and women, albeit of the opposite sex.

The study which compared the brain halves of 90 adults concluded that while heterosexual women and gay men possessed halves of similar size, heterosexual men and lesbian women had right halves of their brains bigger than the left ones.

As per a British scientist, this is enough condition to prove that sexual orientation is determined in the womb. Does it now make sense why gay men are known to exhibit a sexual orientation similar to women in general, as demonstrated by their preference for males and vice versa for gay (lesbian) women?

Further experimentation has indicated other key differences in one particular brain area, the amygdala. It was found that in gay women and heterosexual men, the right half of the amygdala had higher number of nerve "connections" as compared to the left. The reverse was true for heterosexual women and homosexual men.

All these made Dr Qazi Rahman, a University of London lecturer in cognitive biology at Queen Mary to close the argument with a definitive statement which goes like this - “if you are gay, you are born gay."

That puts a full stop of sorts on all further discussions on the topic. Do you agree?
