would a clone of a gay individual result in a gay clone?

Cloning a gay person would not really prove anything. Since the brains are identical there is a decent chance that they both lead to the decision of deciding to be gay. People are also born with more or less hormones of a certain sex so that can also influence their decision. Now what could be interesting is you put one of them in ballet and other girly stuff, and put the other one in hockey, football etc and then see if their exposure to certain environments helps influence their decision. Perhaps also compare a person who gets abused and beaten vs someone who is babied. Not that I condone abuse, but I'd imagine a kid who is abused probably does turn out more manly because of having to put up with that. On the other hand it might also make them turn emo because they fear every moment of their life. So it would be tough to say. There's probably tons of factors.

History has shown us many manly men who grew up "tough" but turned out to be gay or bisexual.

Wow, dug up a thread from March to post anti-gay rants.

A gay man isn't necessarily effeminate. Put down those 80's sitcoms. Also, people who are abused usually grow up emo.

What are the environmental factors that cause someone to be homophobic?

Imagine the outrage in the religious community if scientists cloned a gay man.

Imagine the outrage in the "gay" community if scientists cloned a "gay" man and the clone turned out "straight".

The flaw in the Twins Study was that nearly all the twin pairs that were studied were raised in the same respective homes. Your sarcastic rant doesn't hold water.

uh huh. Maybe you should think about that for a second. I mean, compared to non-twin siblings, raised in the same respective homes? You know, this whole "The environment means everything" argument is basically shot.

so, you got all into your gay hate because of the redneck on TV, started scouring the web for threads about homosexuality, and created an account on AT just for this.

pathetic.

you sure start a lot of gay trolling threads, brainhulk.

I think he's discovering himself. His handle is not pronounced "brain hulk", but rather "bra in hulk".
