Is There Evidence that Homosexuality is Biologically Determined? ... I do not believe that homosexuality can possibly be completely attributed to genetics, however it is difficult to ignore the scientific findings pointing in this direction. ... After exploring the findings of the relevant research, I believe that homosexuality is significantly due to biological factors. However, I also believe that an individual’s decision on whether or not to act on their homosexuality is considerably due to environmental factors.
The determinant of homosexuality is an extremely important issue for various reasons. ...
Also of concern is the morality of homosexuality. It has been the opinion of several organized religions that the practice of homosexuality is a sin and cannot be condoned in their respective dogmas. If the cause of homosexuality could be declared biological, it may help these organizations look less unfavorably upon homosexuals and homosexual behavior. ...
On the other hand, if genetics were found to be the cause of homosexuality, it may bring about a completely new set of problems for those who are trying to end the discrimination against homosexuals. ...
While finding a biological basis for homosexuality would potentially take the blame off the individual, it could actually increase the blame placed on the individual’s parents. Parents who are not accepting of their children’s sexuality could feel as though they were responsible for passing on the genes that contributed to their homosexuality. ...
Furthermore, even if the cause of homosexuality could be resolved, it must be assumed that the discrimination will never completely end.
