I read a story in some newspaper about these Catholic ministers who actually killed their own son. He had been raised a devout Catholic, but then as he got older, he realized he was homosexual. His parents, being Catholic ministers, killed him, saying that the devil had possesed him. They got life sentences.
Catholic priests are celibate and don't marry. They don't have legitimate children that they rear...Where did you get this cockamamie story?

I would say from everything I have learned up to now, it is a process that probably takes place in the birth canal, while being delivered, due to hormones produced by the mother during delivery.

I am still very puzzled with the emerging facts, but they are helping to paint a clearer picture of how it seems to be a result of a process at birth.
What about the twins on last week's 60 Minutes? One gay the other straight...

60 Minutes found identical twins Steve and Greg Lofts in New York. They had the same upbringing, have the same DNA — and yet Greg is gay and Steve is straight.

When people meet the twins and find out one of them is gay, Greg says people have asked if he's sure, and how it can be. "Everyone is curious about that," he says.

There were signs, even when they were little kids. Their mother told Stahl that Steve loved sports and the outdoors while Greg liked helping out in the kitchen. But it wasn't until high school that Steve became convinced Greg was gay.

Asked if he said anything to his brother, Steve says, "I did actually. And I think the way I worded it was something like, 'You know, Greg, if you're gay, it's OK with me. And I'll still love you the same.' And he gave a very philosophical answer. He said something like, 'Well, I love the soul of a person and not the physical being.' And in my mind, I was like, 'Yep, he's gay.'"
How does your hormone theory fit with identicals from a single zygote, born at the same time through the same birth canal?

Sexual preference is a goddam mystery. The science ain't there yet...
