Being gay could be in the DNA.
Scientists have found two stretches of DNA linked to homosexuality in men.
The
confirmation of the existence of a ‘gay gene’ or genes will strengthen
arguments that homosexuality is a matter of biology, rather than choice.
However, it also raises the prospect
of a genetic test that could be used by insurance companies to
discriminate against clients or by pregnant women to abort gay babies.
In
the study, Chicago University researchers analysed the DNA of more than
400 pairs of gay brothers, recruited at Gay Pride festivals at marches
over several years.
