Gay Scientists Find Associated Press: August 5, 2002 Washington, DC – Urban Legends are extremely difficult to stop once they’ve reached the email circuit or the Internet. The “Born Gay” urban legend is actually being exposed as false by homosexual researchers themselves. Homosexual researcher Dean Hamer, for example, notes that homosexuality is not “...purely genetic…environmental factors play a role. There is not a single master gene that makes people gay.” Homosexual researcher Simon LeVay, who attempted to find a genetic basis for homosexuality by examining the differences in the hypothalamus between “homosexual” and “heterosexual” males, has written: “I didn’t show that gay men are born that way, the most common mistake people make in interpreting my work. Nor did I locate a gay center in the brain.” Therapists who treat men and women struggling with same-sex attractions say that there are several consistent factors that contribute to the emergence of homosexuality: Main Causes of Homosexual Behavior in men
For women, rape or incest by a man, alcohol/addiction issues and difficulty in relationships with men are the key contributing factors. Dr. Gregory Dickson, whose doctoral thesis is on the relationship between a mother and son in the development of homosexuality, found that 49% of the homosexuals he surveyed said they had been molested, compared to less than 2% of heterosexuals. Other research confirms what therapists have known for decades: Homosexuals are made, not born. And they are frequently “made” by older men who molest them as youngsters. Counselor Dr. Robert Hicks, author of The Masculine Journey has some sobering thoughts on the real origins of homosexual attractions: “…In counseling gay men for twenty years, I have not had one yet whom I would say had a normative childhood or normative adolescent development in the sexual arena. More often than not I have found stories of abusive, alcoholic, or absent (physically and emotionally) fathers; stories of incest or first experiences of sex forced upon them by older brothers, neighborhood men, or even friends. I sometimes find these men have been early exposure to pornography….” In summary: Homosexuals are made, not born. Compared with an average 11-20% success rate for addiction/alcoholism rehabilitation, the first time success rate for complete rehabilitation of homosexual behavior and a return to heterosexual status hovers at 65%. For men and women struggling with same-sex attractions, organizations like Exodus International and the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality are available and free of charge. <end> More Resources: To understand how Homosexuality is packaged and sold via propaganda, see Selling Homosexuality in America
