  Is Homosexuality Genetic?
      Homosexuality is not genetically determined. If it were, identical twins would show 100% concordance and no modern twin study on any behavioral trait has come remotely near that figure. In fact, same-sex attraction (SSA) is a good example of a trait little influenced by genes.(posted January 2008)
