Sexual identity hard wired by genetics

[Mari333]

ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Sexual identity is wired into the genes, which discounts the concept that homosexuality and transgender sexuality are a choice, California researchers reported on Monday.

"Our findings may help answer an important question -- why do we feel male or female?" Dr. Eric Vilain, a genetics professor at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine, said in a statement. "Sexual identity is rooted in every person's biology before birth and springs from a variation in our individual genome."

2. Darn! And I was hoping to start living that flamboyant gay lifestyle!

Guess I'll have to withdraw that offer on the house in West Hollywood.

3. I'm Hoping It Will Ease My Dad's "Guilt" Of Being A "Bad Parent"...

... he's still torn between believing that I'm making a conscious decision to be perverted and that he was a bad father who wasn't involved enough and who allowed my mother to coddle me too much.

Sigh.
