Sexual orientation and gender identity are different.

Originally posted by twhitehead I read about that somewhere and they found it held true whether or not the gay child lived with the older brothers. This strongly suggests it is a hormone effect in the womb.
Yes but obviously it does not account for all cases of homosexual children and it is vitiated by the occurrence of families where the eldest is gay but the youngest are not.

All it shows is that something is happening in the womb (one suggestion is that it is an immune reaction to maleness). Obviously in some women these conditions may occur with the first child. This could be to do with genetics or the environment at the time etc. It could also be that there are a number of totally different factors that cause homosexuality. But I still think that it is most likely, in most cases, determined before birth.
Its worth reading through Wikipedia on the subject:

A lot of different theories, but it is clear that brain structure is an important factor and that is determined very early on.
Originally posted by divegeester I've just come across this latest pearl from the JW string of alternate wisdom.
So, how do you come to this conclusion? Is this a JW postion or a robbie carrobie opinion?
Having inadvertently revealed - in a fit of characteristic tinpottery - that he thinks his spouse's genitals are dirty, I think robbie may keep lying low for the time being.

Well, you don't know for sure, maybe he's telling the truth.....
Originally posted by VoidSpirit what they should be asking is "will there be heterosexuals in heaven?"
the answer according to the new testament is, no. not in the christian father god's heaven.
maybe in the old biblegod's heaven there would be, but old biblegod didn't have a heaven.
I dont know ,man, I generally agree with your take, but it seems our pal RJ has succumbed to the illiteration temptation to the "b" letter in this instance...
