Quote: | In a Focus on the Family publication. author Mike Haley wrote "So, if the study showed that homosexuality in [identical] twins was purely genetic, then both of the twins would have been homosexual 100% of the time." | Well, that's just STUPID.
I had friends who were identical twins. When I first met them, and for the first few times I saw them, it was IMPOSSIBLE to tell them apart - they really did look alike.
However, in time, it became not only EASY to tell them apart, but IMPOSSIBLE confuse them! Though "identical," their identical qualities were superficial, and after time one could tell they had different faces, voices, etc...even different hair, even though they both wore it in the same style.
If they can have physical differences, they can certainly have different sexual orientations. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance. Bigotry is a social disease. Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage." |
