60 Minutes 8/27/06 - Gay or Straight - Part 3 of 3

[bettysbees]

Way to go! thanks for the video, very interesting. it makes a lot of sense to me. I knew since i was little that i was different although my family always tried to encourage the female side of me and reprimanded the male side. I do have homosexuals in my relatives. I think it is a combination of genes and hormones, it has nothing to do with the outside environment. thanks

@bettysbees It's both genetics and environment. There are many gay men who have become aroused by women, slept with women, become bisexuals etc. Then after, returned back to their genetic physiological origins of being gay. Why can't it be both? You can change your environment temporarily, but you can't change your genes.

ok- this is steroetyping that every tom boy girl and every guy that doesn't like sports and 'manly' things are gay- and there are so many GLBT people who are girly girls and manly men, so this is definatley not accurate.

@ReadJohnFourteenSix Good point.

[911assassinate]

@ReadJohnFourteenSix I agree, it's stereotyping GLBT yet again.

Asshole. There is no need for hanging those rats from their tails like that.

I think she is using flawed reasoning to make the issue look more staggering that it really is. Don't get me wrong I don't give two shits about a persons sexual orientation. However just because something is "caused" by a chemical (possible theory) doesn't mean both boys should have it. In one boy it might have affected the brain more then in the other. Sure it increases the chance but I don't think it's action>reaction ish. That being said: great video.

That's exactly what the video is actually saying; that although the have the exact same genomes, in the womb the expression of certain genes has clearly either been triggered or suppressed in different ways while they were developing.

[ForYeensSake]

@OrthodoxDarwinist Then I must have misunderstood her wording. Going to assume you're right and not bother watching it again here.

Hahaha :) I do get trolled on quite a bit. I am planning to use this "60 Minutes" story in my episode about homosexuality, but unfortunately I won't get around to producing that episode anytime soon. I have a lot of subjects I need to cover first, but homosexuality is a very interesting topic and I have a lot of great information to share.

@DiscoveringReligion LOVE your vids!! Looking forward to future topics :D
