BORN GAY?
Good Question.

 

 

Dr. Neil Whitehead and his wife Briar write in their book, MY GENES MADE ME DO IT, that there is no conclusive scientific evidence at this time, to prove that there is any genetic component which causes homosexuality. He concludes that both heterosexuality and homosexuality are learned behaviors.

Topics such as studies of identical twins, examination of different cultures, and considerations of the effects of pre-natal hormonal exposure are discussed by the authors. Dr. Whitehead is a research scientist with a PH.D in biochemistry. He and Briar spent over 8 years researching homosexuality.

In another study, Dr. Robert Spitzer of Columbia University, New York City, completed a study in May 2001, regarding homosexuality and the possibility of change. Dr. Spitzer was instrumental in the deletion of homosexuality as a disorder from the Diagnostic Manual used by professionals in the mental health field for diagnosis. He decided to study the issue for himself and found that 44% of the women studied and 60% of the men were successful at changing their orientation from homosexual to heterosexual.

He found that they had made a happy adjustment and were not just controlling their homosexual behavior. I had the privilege of participating in that study, and by God's grace, am part of that 44% of women who made the transition.
