Does the fact that gay men around the world share similar behavioral and physical traits (feminine speech patterns and body language) imply a genetic/congenital cause for homosexuality?

Absolutely. In fact, I'm pretty sure we've already connected it to a chemical balance issue in DNA or something.

I think they've already shown similiarities in brain structure

How do you spread homofag genetically if you don't have offsprings ?

It's not a refutal though I also heard they found the gay gene in bill mahers show

it's very simple: they were brainwashed by the same people

you wouldn't have to worry about it if you converted to islam

>chemical balance issue in DNA

What did he mean by this

Does the fact that men around the world wear pants imply a genetic cause of it?

Wearing pants is a cultural and social fact and therefore implies cultural and social causes. If men in all unassimilated tribal societies wore pants too I'd say your statement is valid. I believe you're trying to say these shared behavioural traits are rooted in culture. In that case all I can say is that I created this thread to debate just that, though your argument can be refuted easily enough.

I don't think he knows

>a genetic/congenital cause for homosexuality?

Yes, definitely, it's a brain issue with their DNA.

Wasn't it already confirmed just last year that a "homosexual gene" or gene complex exists?

>Does the fact that gay men around the world share similar behavioral and physical traits
Except they don't. Western gay culture is very different from gay culture overseas. In China people with homosexual orientation are indistinguishable from their straight counterparts.

it's a spandrel found in heterosexuals.

simplified version:
woman with "gay" gene is much more likely to reproduce.
man with "gay" gene is less likely to reproduce.

women reproduce more than men anyways, so the gay gene gets spread because it reproduces in women more often than it fails to reproduce in men.

Do you not know nature/nurture? A large portion of it is societal, aka nurture. There is an accepted set of traits that gay men are expected to have. There are enough exceptions (see: bears) to suggest it's not genetic, aka nature.

It's roles.

And that bisexual/gay/fem boys give their male friends blowjobs, especial straight friends, should be a normal and accepted thing and there should be some way to ''signal'' your friends you're up for it and its up to them to use your mouth

The sexuality of those receiving the service should never be put in question, in fact there should be no fuss at all about crap like gender/orientation/whatever, just spontaneous lustful cock-worship, pleasure and relaxation, and the one giving the service should just be that, the one designated as cocksucker, the one with the given function of serving his friends cocks, like that should be his whole sexual identity, being a submissive cock hungry hole, and being appreciated for it

Basically the scenario would be any given group of male friends that hang out drink, smoke, do drugs etc... have that one skinny, fem, weak guy that they have to protect and look after any way, so he might as well get on his knees now and then, when no ones looking, since in reality he wants to do it any way, and everyone loves to get their cocks sucked

Everything else, clothes, makeup, hormones, whatever, should just come spontaneously, just as if it were a subculture or a normalized custom

This would actually lead to greater long term acceptance of different sexuality, as it would give them a function and a purpose in relation to others, and men, hetero or otherwise, appreciate that simple logic.

just like in my doujins

kek

Not only this but prior to the modern era being gay was scorned and having kids was just a way to pass on your family name and have them look after you in old age, basically society has changed a lot so it's hard to comprehend how irrelevant sexuality was

I am gay and have been accused of faking it because I do not have a lisp

Then again I've also been told it's a lifestyle i have to take part in, i can't just simply enjoy dicks

The Masculine and the Feminine Brain
Gender identity, which is the feeling of being like a man or a woman, influences various aspects of human behavior. These include choice of toys as a child and gender-specific cognitive, motor, and personality characteristics. Gender identity also has a role to play in determining sexuality. And all these developments are triggered by testosterone. Male and female fetuses vary in the level of this sex hormone.
According to one study, the human brain can show “masculine” or “feminine” traits, irrespective of physical sexual characteristics. When the fetus develops, gender identity and the sexual differentiation of the genitals may develop independently of one another. The former takes place during the second half of pregnancy while the latter starts much earlier, within the first 8 weeks of gestation. Incidentally, incongruent development in these two regions usually leads to transsexuality

Sexual Orientation is in the Brain
Several other studies indicate that sexual orientation — heterosexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality — is determined by peculiarities of the brain structure and differences in brain chemistry. Cultural or societal factors, upbringing, moral leanings, and educational attainments do not determine sexual orientation as greatly as neural mechanisms do. In fact, scientists have identified several areas of the brain that they believe determine sexuality in an individual. These areas include the hypothalamus and the amygdala. Inter-hemispheric neural connectivity has also been found to contribute significantly to sexual orientation.
A landmark study by Savic and Lindström indicates that there are cerebral differences in homosexual and heterosexual individuals. There are differences in brain anatomy, activities, and neurological connections. Brain scan images of the subjects who participated in this study show that the brains of homosexual individuals exhibit similar structure and functionality as that of heterosexual individuals of the opposite gender.

According to the study, lesbians and straight men have similar brain structures and functionalities while gay men and straight women share neural characteristics. For instance, MRI findings prove that the right hemispheres of the brains of the lesbians and heterosexual men have slightly greater volumes than their left hemispheres. But the left and right hemispheres of gay men and heterosexual women are symmetrical.
Another study on the brains of male-to-female (MTF) transsexual individuals, men, and women found that the volumes of gray matter across the different regions of the brains of MTF transsexuals are more or less similar to that in the brains of the men. However, the MTF transsexuals exhibited slightly greater volume of gray matter in the right putamen region of their brains compared to the men in the study. MTF transsexual individuals may have the same physical sexual characteristics as men, but they report feeling like women. This study bolsters the claims of the Savic-Lindström study that brain structure and functionality play a significant role in determining gender identity.

According to the findings of the Savic-Lindström study, the number of neural connections also varied between hetero- and homosexual subjects. For instance, gay men and straight women showed greater neural connectivity in the cingulate cortex and contralateral amygdala regions than straight men and lesbians respectively. On the other hand, straight men and lesbian women exhibited significantly more neural connections in the frontal lobe cortex and the parietal cortex regions compared to gay men and straight women respectively.
Incidentally, the Savic-Lindström study is the first to establish that differences in neural connections can influence sexual orientation. The objective of the study was also to establish that sexual orientation is largely determined by factors that are congenital.
Neurological Underpinnings of Sexual Attraction
Neurological differences determine human behavior to a large extent. So it is likely that the neural differences in hetero- and homosexual individuals influence their sexual preferences as well. Hetero- and homosexual women have different responses to specific odors, particularly those emitted by 4,16-androstadien-3-one (AND), which is a testosterone-derivative that is found primarily in male sweat, and estra-1,3,5(10),16-tetraen-3-ol (EST), which is an estrogen-like substance that is found in the urine of women. These substances are believed to be similar in nature and function to pheromones that are emitted by individual members of a species to elicit specific responses, sexual in many cases, from members of the same species.

The above study was conducted on straight men, gay men, and straight women. It was found that homosexual men and heterosexual women displayed similar brain activation patterns when they inhaled the AND chemical. The hypothalamic area of their brains were activated when they inhaled AND. In contrast, the straight women exhibited activity only in the olfactory region of their brains when they were exposed to the EST chemical. The hypothalamus is known to be active in processing sexual signals while the olfactory region only processes smells. During the same study, the subjects were exposed to commonly-occurring smells, and it was found that their brains had similar responses.
So, are people born gay or lesbian? Scientists hesitate to provide a conclusive answer.
A slew of studies indicate that neurological factors greatly influence sexual orientation. The functionalities of regions in the brain like the amygdala and the hypothalamus have been proven to be determined genetically and are influenced by hormones. Developments in these regions kick in even before an individual learns cognitive skills or is exposed to environmental and educational settings.

In short, its disorder

where are the time where I could just insult someone as gay, I laugh, they'll laugh and that's it. :(

I love how we all just totally ignored this.
Kinda ruined it tho.

it is a side effect of toxoplasmosis

>Does the fact that gay men around the world share similar behavioral and physical traits
this isn't a fact and most gay men actually don't share these traits, that's just how the media portrays them
being gay doesn't make you sterile
You know, it's possible that for the past thousand or so years, instead of being ostracized/killed, gay people repressed their homosexuality, married, and then had kids passing on the gay gene (if it even exists).
I don't understand how this concept is so hard to grasp for you ignorant breeders

this is a board for science, not psychology

It's a disease

Deducing author intent is a science.
