Reason for Male Homosexuality Found!

Throughout modern times heterosexuals have accused homosexuals of immorality and mental illness. They have hated and feared homosexuals because they did not understand them. More recently the debate(among heterosexuals) has been whether or not homosexuality is the result of nurture or nature and if the homosexual has a choice. Up until very recently these questions have been confidently answered by people, who it turns out, were only guessing, because there is now scientific evidence showing that male homosexuals are born this way. So how is the gay man born?

All males start out in the womb as female and must be 'converted' into male by testosterone and other hormones. If a women during the early stage of her pregnancy releases more Androstenedione (an adrenaline-related hormone that is structurally similar to testosterone) into her bloodstream and that of her unborn child, it will bind to the receptors that would normally be receiving testosterone thereby 'shielding' the hypothalamus from receiving the amount of testosterone it needs to convert from female to male. In homosexual men, the hypothalamus remains ‘female’ while the rest of the body follows its XY code for male development. We now know that the hypothalamus of homosexual men is smaller than in heterosexual men- about the same size of a female's hypothalamus. Since the hypothalamus is that part of the brain responsible for finding a mate the gay man with a [female] hypothalamus will find men sexually attractive in the same way that heterosexual women do. This is backed-up by the recent pheromone studies that show heterosexual women and homosexual men have the same olfactory nerve responses. For obvious reasons sexual orientation is assigned very early on in fetal development and it cannot be reversed once it is set. Increasing testosterone later in the pregnancy or after birth has shown to have no affect on one's sexual orientation.

While there is no specific 'gay gene' there might be a genetic tendency to produce more Androstenedione. Androstenedione is sometimes called the 'stress hormone' because it's levels can become elevated due to stress. It can also be elevated by certain drugs and possibly other factors such as a later pregnancy. Studies have shown that the youngest son of a woman who has already had several sons is more likely to be homosexual. Why does this happen? We do not yet know. It might be an evolutionary process developed to reduce the size of a family and/or tribe or it could have no specific purpose.

Since hormone levels are fluid we would expect there to be various levels of sexual attraction and gender identification, and that is exactly what we see -from bisexual and masculine gay men to effeminate and the transgender men. It’s possible that if the hypothalamus is completely unchanged one might feel as if he is a women trapped in man's body. Even so, we cannot discount the influence that upbringing and cultural appropriation has on one's personality, behavior and tastes. However, we must realize that these factors do not determine sexual orientation. Unfortunately, people have often confused cultivation with inherited nature.

NOTE: There is a lack of interest by most heterosexual scientists to study homosexuality -party because of their own biases, partly because the outcome of the research does not affect them personally, and partly because they do not wish to get into the middle of a 'cultural war'. These factors have also discouraged people from widely reporting these findings. Because some people find the evidence regarding male homosexuality to be unsatisfactory they have dismissed it. That is unfortunate because what may be true for gay men, may not be true for lesbians, and not yet having a clear picture of one should not negate what we do know about the other. Since a natural cause for male homosexuality has been found it stands to reason that there is natural cause for female homosexuality as well. We still have a lot to learn about the role hormones play in determining sexual orientation and obviously more studies are needed.

When saying "I'm sorry" it not good enough

In light of new scientific information it seems particularly cruel and indeed immoral to allow anyone or any institution to use ignorance against homosexuals to promote their agenda. In addressing some of realities of modern homosexual life we must conclude that it is the anti-socialization of homosexuals that is largely to blame for the damaged emotions which has led some to adopt unhealthy and unsatisfying lifestyles and not homosexuality itself. How much one's sexual orientation influences lifestyle is uncertain but we do know that our religious-based and heterosexual-orientated society has a very long history of repressing, abusing and discriminating against the homosexual and that this is the genesis of most of the problems. Which is why the supposed change of heart among some Christians needs to be critically examined.

Today we are seeing some Christians no longer willing to single out homosexuals for special condemnation and are even going as far as to apologize for how the Church has treated gay people in the past. Some  are acknowledging that the Church has done a good job of hating the sin but a bad job of loving the (homosexual) sinner. These Christians are giving themselves a lot of credit for being more tolerant, humble and compassionate towards the gay community than their 'brothers and sisters' where in past. While this approach is certainly better than before- it is in no way a real and significant change. This has nothing to due people  actually coming to a realization and finally accepting the facts. It is more like a religious re-branding - primarily due to society's changing attitudes towards homosexuality and the fact that fewer people are willing to put up with their old bigoted, hate-mongering approach that the Church has had for so many years. Despite the new and improved rhetoric they still believe and teach that homosexuality is immoral. If Christians were truly sorry they would say something like- "What the Church taught about homosexuality in the past is completely wrong. We were ignorant and I'm sorry."

Of course, Christians should apologize for how their church has treated gays and lesbians, but forgiveness implies realizing your mistakes and seeking to make amends. If they are still promoting the same old lies and refusing to acknowledge the scientific facts which clearly expose their wrong headed position, then they have not earned any forgiveness and their approach is completely self-serving. Unfortunately, many well-meaning open-minded people have been hoodwinked by the church's new marketing strategy.

The fact is that many Christians will never accept scientific findings which flatly contradict their 'holy book'. Even when confronted with the new information about homosexuality these Christians will still insist that it is the acting on homosexuality is the sin or moral failing even if having the sexual desire itself is not. But consider this-  if it were a mental disorder or biological defect -the result of the Fall as some Christians say, then why doesn't the Bible clearly say so and why would God order people be put to death because of their mental  or physical defect?

Christians are good at periodically changing their positions just enough so that people will still take their claims seriously (even without any proof). The problem they have today is that their long-standing position on homosexuality is far too well known for them to simply tweak it or ignore it.

Their belief  that homosexuality, like every other 'defective' thing  in the world today, is the result of the wrong actions taken by the very first man and woman ever created by God, shows us the root of the problem. If Christians are willing to ignore the evidence we have that clearly supports human evolution then how can they be expected to render any credible judgement on the matter of homosexuality? The 'gay problem' really is a faith problem for the Christian -which may be why it is such a big deal to them. If they concede that homosexuals are born and that it's not a choice or a sin then they will lose their credibility.

The Christian belief system is based on a 'holy book' created by the state religion of a long gone empire. Most of 'facts' in this so-called holy book have either never been corroborated or have been discredited. Additionally, the religious 'conversion' and being 'filled with the spirit' experiences have both been confirmed as psychosomatic experiences - a form of religious hypnosis - a mental state that is induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction, which is commonly composed of a series of preconditioning instructions and suggestions delivered, knowingly or unknowingly, by parents, teachers, preachers, friends, witnesses, even the media (including books, TV, music and films), etc. -in person or self-administered (autosuggestion).

Some people are more susceptible to religious-hypnotic induction than others -usually because of their upbringing/social conditioning. Studies have shown that people are particularly vulnerable to religious hypnosis in times of confusion, directionless, stress or trauma- as are people who suffer from low self-confidence and low-information or inexperience. The irony is that most homosexuality is caused by nature, whereas religious belief and experiences are caused by nurture.
