[Betty]

By saying that being homosexual, having this sexual preference, is a sin, I think you’re saying that it’s a consciously made choice. There is scientific evidence that contradicts this belief. Homosexuality is not something that comes of one’s volition, one’s upbringing, or one’s genome. It does, however, stem from biological factors that are difficult, if not impossible, to control. According to a study that was written about in Discover Magazine, when a woman is pregnant, she shares a blood supply with her child. Her body will eventually develop antibodies against the child’s blood cells, and this will happen either late in pregnancy or after birth. These antibodies stay in the mother’s body and can cause anemia in subsequent children (if they attack blood cells in the baby) or homosexuality in either the first or the next child, but they usually have no discernable effect. These antibodies seem to be able to cause homosexuality in male babies by affecting the 3rd interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus (INAH-3) in the brain, which appears to determine sexual orientation, changing it so that it resembles that of the average heterosexual female. It might be interesting to note that a lot of homosexual males were of low birth weight and have older brothers, which could mean that a woman’s body may produce different antibodies in response to the sex of the child she’s carrying. The study only directly accounts for homosexual males, but female homosexuality might stem from related causes.
