Show me the article that the NY Times writes about this study (if they bother) and perhaps we can take some actual information from it and have a discussion.

From the original paper:
Yeah, lots of talk about homosexuality hereThe classic view of brain sexual differentiation and behavior is that gonadal steroid hormones act directly to promote sex differences in neural and behavioral development. In particular, the actions of testosterone and its metabolites induce a masculine pattern of brain development, while inhibiting feminine neural and behavioral patterns of differentiation. However, recent evidence indicates that gonadal hormones may not solely be responsible for sex differences in brain development and behavior between males and females. Here we examine an alternative hypothesis that genes, by directly inducing sexually dimorphic patterns of neural development, can influence the sexual differences between male and female brains. Using microarrays and RT-PCR, we have detected over 50 candidate genes for differential sex expression, and confirmed at least seven murine genes which show differential expression between the developing brains of male and female mice at stage 10.5 days post coitum (dpc), before any gonadal hormone influence. The identification of genes differentially expressed between male and female brains prior to gonadal formation suggests that genetic factors may have roles in influencing brain sexual differentiation.

I think genes determine sexuality most of the time
There are rare cases though when it's a choice.

Right now? It's ALWAYS cool to be a lesbian (or rather bi)

The only thing shown in this article is that different genes are active in developing male and female mouse brains. These genes may or may not be important in determining sexuality, but that has yet to be investigated.
I think it's a very interesting topic, but one should be very careful not to jump to conclusions after limited studies like this one.The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand.Comment

Unfortunately, this kind of study will have no effect on social acceptance of homosexuality. The only thing it will do is change the terms by which homosexuality is condemned. It will now be seen as a birth defect.Originally posted by Wittlich
Ok, this question needs to be asked...so I'll ask it.
If this study is true, then I have no choice to be who and what I am...so on this same line of thought, how can homosexuality be wrong (or a sin for that matter)?
