许多人认为同性恋是天生的,其实这充其量只是一个理论:1993年,Dean Hamer发表文章,说是有个gay gene决定性取向,Dean Hamer本人是个公开的gay;然而,15年过去了,这个gay gene根本就没找到,follow up的研究也并没有得到一致的结论。现在公认的理论是:基因和环境都对同性恋的形成有影响,Wiki有比较公正的词条:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and_sexual_orientation美国同性恋研究协会也有这个结论:
http://www.narth.com/docs/istheregene.html比较可怕的是如果孩子从小接受同性恋教育的话,长大成为同性恋的机会大增:同性恋家庭长大的孩子,成为同性恋的机会是异性家庭的10倍。
你自己是成年人了,性取向定了,可是你的孩子呢?这是一篇发表在Science上的文章里的(C. Mann, "Genes and Behavior," Science 264 (1994): 1687):
Complex behavioral traits are the product of multiple genetic and environmental antecedents, with 'environment' meaning not only the social environment but also such factors as the 'flux of hormones during development, whether you were lying on your right or left side in the womb and a whole parade of other things'...the relationships among genes and environment probably have a somewhat different effect on someone in Salt lake City than if that person were growing up in New York City.
English translation:
"You're more likely to become gay growing up in Manhattan than in Utah among Mormons and Christian fundamentalists, even if everything else is the same, including genes." 除非你不关心你的孩子是不是会变成同性恋,那么你一定会关心他/她周围的人是什么样的人,他/她从小受的什么样的教育。麻州现在公立学校里发生的已经令人触目惊心:
“Under the rubric of diversity training, HIV prevention and "safer schools," the Massachusetts Department of Education has permitted the exposure of young students in public schools to sexually explicit, morally offensive, and medically risky material intended to encourage them to question, explore and expand their sexuality. These misguided efforts place young people at risk for the well known and sometimes life threatening consequences of homosexual sex and promiscuity, not the least of which are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). ”(来自
Dr. John R. Diggs, Jr在法庭上的证词)
你的不作为,是你不爱你的孩子!
==================================================================================================
后记:如果这次Prop 8通不过,在加州的父母将失去将孩子opt out同性恋诱导教育的自由,不管你愿不愿意,你的孩子必须要接受同性恋是正常的生活方式的教育,甚至象麻州正在实行的sexually explicit, morally offensive的教育。记住:环境会影响性取向!

子女教育坛的回帖:
• 反感这种瞎忽悠。如果同性恋是后天造成的,那就去救救那些人。 -
