Oh man... I'd pound my head on my desk if you didn't deserve it more... If homosexuality only describes emotions and nothing to do with sex, why then is it called HomoSEXUALITY? Come on now, you're being incredibly absurd here. For the sake of mankind I hope you're not a science major in college

Quote:Oh, and how can you be so sure that there is nothing genetic in it? Its not like we know what all of our genes do yet, so you can't be sure... not until the gene is 100% decoded and understood, which will take quite a while... and honestly you don't make sense. Sure, reproduction is the purpose of it... but why couldn't there be something that, if it ends up a specific way (one gene? some combonation of settings? I don't know), means that the creature (any animal) is attracted to the same gender... it obviously isn't the 'normal' thing, but all kinds of genetic things aren't the 'normal' thing... [/B]
The simple answer is because we've mapped 90% of the human genome, and there have been no genes at all that have been found to determine preferences. None. Nor have there been any genes that have been found to determine emotions. There is 10% of the genome left unmapped but if we've found no traces of any of this in the other 90%, I doubt all of it (or any of it) resides in that remaining 10%.
