Aside from the title of the thread, I want to know and read more about how human behavior is related to our gene pool?
I mean is there a ‘angry gene’ and a ‘similie gene’ too?
Re: The Gay Gene
Are you trying to find ways to explain your "mean gene"?

ASALAAM O ALAIKUM
before i shoot i'll tell you that i HAD done A Levels pre medical and now i am in ACCA :S
lol
so i could only direct you, can't go in depth:(
the people who possess hypermasculinty, possess 47 chromosomes
if you know a lil of medical, its a type of Down's Syndrome
the 23rd chromosome of 1 gamete has "XXY" it should be "XY" there should only 2 like "XX" ( distinguishing a girl ) and "XY" ( distinguishing a boy )
now comming to your enquiry: medical science does not include such names as 'gene of anger' etc
yeah, there are factors or several genes that control anger wagaira
and the Gay Gene doesn't exist
hypermasculinity does exist which could be either way ( homo = hetro )
Gayism is only because of lack of self control and obsession of _________
ALLAH HAFIZ
P.S. i am open for corrections but from a better qualified person than me ;)

Re: The Gay Gene
jawad - so gay people are liars 
Re: The Gay Gene
^ No gay people are sick in the head and hell bent on destroying the moal fabric of this society.
Re: The Gay Gene
so God made adam and eve not adam and steve... ??
Re: The Gay Gene
All societies have straight people who have done a far better job than any gay person could do.
Re: The Gay Gene
^ Lets stick to the topic...there is no such thing as gay gene. You can call into question all the destruction and wars started by "straight people" you want, but its moral fabric that is being destroyed by these two mommys and two daddys families.
Re: The Gay Gene
@kaleem lol
@nia (lol)squared
never heard about steve before
the problem that REALLY irritates a person in Pak or India i suppose is : since these people are insolvent in the society here; thats why they don't declare. actually they can't!
the people in the west declare openly and moreover they have well established gay societies.
one can easily identify such people in the west because they reveal the truth
but here....phphph....
don't ask me now
'cuz i've myself beaten up such a fellow
and really i felt so very yuckyyyyyyyyy when he was trying to ummmmmmmmmmmm ok seduce me
i felt sick
nothing more comes out of the box now
bye
Re: The Gay Gene
No such thing as gay gene. Its more enviromental factors that can effect sum1's sexuality. No one realy knows not even scientist Know how 2 explain it. Its not linked with geneitcs-that wud b stupid.
A coulple of decades ago in the west ppl used 2 b put in prison cuz they were gay and get turtured. It was known as a mental illness. But now morality has changed and the west accept with open arms.

Report Suggests Homosexuality is Linked to Genes
by Natalie Angier
Ushering the politically explosive study of the origins of sexual orientation into a new and perhaps more scientifically rigorous phase, researchers report that they have linked male homosexuality to a small region of one human chromosome.
The results have yet to be confirmed by other laboratories, and the chromosomal region implicated, if it holds up under further scrutiny, is almost surely just a single chapter in the intricate story of sexual orientation and behavior. Nevertheless, scientists said the work suggests that one or several genes located on the bottom half of the sausage-shaped X chromosome may play a role in predisposing some men toward homosexuality. (The researchers have begun a similar study looking at the chromosomes of lesbians.)
The findings, which appear today in the journal Science, indicate that sexual orientation often is at least partly inborn, rather than being solely a matter of choice. But researchers warn against overinterpreting the work, or in taking it to mean anything as simplistic as that the “gay gene” has been found.
The researchers emphasized that they do not yet have a gene isolated, but merely know the rough location of where the gene or genes may sit amid the vast welter of human DNA, Until they have the gene proper, scientists said they had no way of knowing how it contributes to sexual orientation, how many people carry it, or how often carriers are likely to become gay as a result of bearing the gene.
And even when they do have this gene on the X chromosome pinpointed, scientists said they will continue to search for other genes on other chromosomes that may be involved in sexual orientation. “Sexual orientation is too complex to be determined by a single gene,” said Dr. Dean H. Hamer of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md., the lead author of the new report. “The main value of this work is that it opens a window into understanding how genes, the brain and the environment interact to mold human behavior.”
In the new work, the scientists studied the genetic material from 40 pairs of gay brothers and found that in 33 of the pairs, the brothers had identical pieces of the end tip of the X chromosome. Under ordinary circumstances ruled by chance alone, only half of the pairs should have shared that chromosomal neighborhood in common, a region designated Xq28. The odds of Dr. Hamer’s results turning up randomly are less than half a percent, indicating that the chromosomal tip likely harbors a genetic sequence linked to the onset of the brothers’ homosexuality.
Passed Through Maternal Line
In men, the X chromosome pairs with the Y chromosome to form the so-called sex chromosomes, the final set of the 23 pairs of chromosomes found in all cells of the human body. A man’s X chromosome is always inherited from the mother, who bestows on her son a reshuffled version of one of her two copies of the X chromosome. The latest results indicate that the newly reported genetic factor is passed through the maternal line, a curious twist given that in the past psychiatry has held women at least partly responsible for fostering their sons’ homosexuality.
The gene could work by directly influencing sexual proclivity, perhaps by shaping parts of the brain that orchestrate sexual behavior. Or it might affect temperament in a way that predisposes a boy toward homosexuality. At the moment, researchers said, all scenarios are mere speculation. Despite the cautionary notes, the latest study is likely to add fuel to the debate over gay rights in the military and civilian realms.
If homosexuality is shown to be largely inborn, a number of legal experts say, then policies that in any way discriminate against homosexuals are likely to be shot down in the courts. “We think this study is very important,” said Gregory J. King, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign Fund in Washington, the largest national lesbian and gay lobbying group, “Fundamentally it increases our understanding of the origins of sexual orientation, and at the same time we believe it will help increase public support for lesbian and gay rights.”

Re: The Gay Gene
The genome is mapped correct? So which is the gay gene? Can we pin point it?
Re: The Gay Gene
There is no (proven) Gay Gene. However, some pairs of genes on the tip of the X chromosome seem to be related to homosexuality.
Re: The Gay Gene
i guess all genes are gay coz CHURAILS are considered their sisters and PARI's hate 'em!!!
Re: The Gay Gene
How scientific of you, A.A. :D :D
