‘Gay gene” fraud – Nobody born homosexual

The ‘gay gene’ hoax
By Ryan Sorba

One of the most common studies homosexual activists cite when they make the absurd claim that people are “born gay” was conducted in 1993 by pro-gay activist Dr. Dean Hamer and his team of geneticists at the National Cancer Institute. Hamer and his colleagues reported that a “gay gene” seemed to be maternally linked and could be found on the Xq28 stretch of the X chromosome. Hamer’s genetic study played a key role in a massive public-relations campaign designed by Harvard-educated and Madison Avenue-trained homosexual activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen. I refer to this campaign as the “born gay hoax.” …

Upon learning that Hamer’s “gay gene” study was a hoax, one might assume that if other researchers were to attempt to replicate his experiment, including his control group, they would fail to obtain the pseudo-scientific result that there is a “gay gene.” This is exactly the case. The New York Native article continues: “… [A]t least one lab that has tried hard to replicate his findings has been unsuccessful. ‘Only one independent laboratory has reported attempting such a replication, and it has found no evidence to support Hamer,’ Crewdson reported. ‘We can’t reproduce Hamer’s data,’ said George Ebers, a neurogeneticist from the University of Western Ontario, who has searched unsuccessfully for a Hamer-style genetic link to homosexuality in more than 50 pairs of gay Canadian brothers. In fact, Ebers found the genetic markers cited by Hamer in “exactly half of his brother pairs” according to Crewdson – precisely what the laws of chance would predict, if the “markers had no significance.”

The fact that Hamer’s study cannot be replicated confirms reports that Hamer lied about his results. In 1998, another group of researchers (Sanders, et al.) tried to replicate Hamer’s study as well; they also failed to find a genetic connection to homosexuality. Then, in the Aug. 6, 1999, edition of Science, George Rice and George Ebers published a review of Hamer’s study to go along with their previous attempts to replicate his findings. The scientists stated that the results of Hamer’s study “did not support an X-linked gene underlying male homosexuality.” They found that the brothers observed by the Hamer group were no more likely to share the Xq28 markers than would be expected by mere chance.

By this time, Hamer had already conceded that his pseudo-scientific study did not support a genetic cause for homosexuality, in the Jan. 30, 1998, edition of the Washington Blade. He also conceded that homosexuality is “culturally transmitted, not inherited,” and that “there is not a single master gene that makes people gay. … I don’t think we will ever be able to predict who will be gay,” he said.

One thought on “‘Gay gene” fraud – Nobody born homosexual

  1. With large contingent of feminists working in academia and MSM these days one would assume that anybody openly promoting theories blaming women’s behaviour during pregnancy for pedophilia of their sons would have his bogus theories checked out and he would also get exposed as a pseudo-scientific fraud.

    Let us examine such presumption on a perfect example; supermasculine homosexual activist and pedophile apologist Dr. James Cantor from CAMH, man who hates women with passion, man who hates women so much that he cannot envision not only ever having sex with them but who is also turned off by having anything to do with them, man who think that male to female sex change surgery for transgender people is bad outcome for a perfectly good gay (queer) man.
    In fact, Dr. Cantor hates women so much that he developed theory that is more hateful than anything ever spewed by most misogynous backward Arab who treats his women worse than his camels or his dogs.

    Some introduction here; If someone really wants to insult and show his contempt for group of people he has to attack and demean their most essential characteristic. When attacking women this most sacred part is their ability to create new life; pregnancy and childbirth. How to demean pregnancy and childhood in order to demean women? Let us see; who is the most despised among men walking on the face of this planet? How about pedophiles? They seem to come close enough as they rob innocence from children that women’s labours bring to this world. How does Cantor go about blaming women for bringing to this world monsters who destroy innocence and happiness of other women’s labours? If somebody puts his unquenched hate to it, it might take him his whole lifetime to accomplish this project.

    “The best evidence suggests that pedophilia and hebephilia result from abnormal development in the pre-natal brain, Dr. Cantor says.”
    http://www.world-science.net/othernews/071022_pedophilia.htm
    “The re­sults sug­gest pe­dophiles ex­pe­ri­enced pre-birth con­di­tions that af­fect­ed their brain or oth­er phys­i­cal de­vel­op­ment, said the in­vest­i­ga­tors.”

    “Further research is necessary, but this finding re-enforces evidence that pedophilia has a biological cause, possibly related to brain development before birth.”

    Now we come to the part where CPIU (coallition of computer experts, law enforcement agents, and counter-pedophilia experts) give credence to homosexual activist and pedophile apologist Dr. James Cantor from CAMH

    In February, 30-year-old Junior Spencer was released from prison after serving time for various offences. He had been convicted of making, possessing and distributing child pornography between 1995 and 2005. His twin bother, Stephen, was convicted in 2000 of possessing child pornography. But Cantor cautions that DNA is likely only part of the story.
    For one thing, identical twins do have the same DNA. But there is another layer of biology: epigenetics. This is what turns certain genes on and off, explaining how two people who look the same can be so different.
    Cantor also notes that most twins share not only biology but also an upbringing. In all likelihood, multiple cases of pedophilia in the same family are the result of both biological and environmental factors, he said.
    The researcher is in the final stages of a study examining minor skin malformations in pedophiles, such as attached earlobes or webbed toes.
    “The fetal tissue that produces the skin is the same tissue that produces the brain and they develop at the same time,” he explains. “And there’s a very strong association … between the number of these minor physical anomalies a person has and sometimes very dramatic brain-related disorders, like schizophrenia. “Taken by themselves, of course, they don’t really mean anything. It’s when you put all of these things together that it gives us a clue for when in life they happened. That then tells us, in turn, when in life our interventions should be aimed in order to prevent it.”

    In essence women hating homosexual activist James Cantor blames women behavior during pregnancy (epigenetic factors) like smoking, use of illicit drugs, drinking, overeating, you name it, for their sons pedophilia instead of pointing to a real cause; sexual abuse by pedophiles of previous generation.
