Focus on the Family Will Keep your Kid from Being Gay

If I had a very young daughter, I would take her into the shower with me to bathe her. Would that be bad?

Ah, now I see where you are confused.

ou would be 100% correct if homosexuality were a racial trait, but it isn't. It's a choice.

These do not exhaust all possibilities. Something might not be genetically determined but still not a choice. I also do not believe that sexual orientation is a simple matter of genetics, but neither do I believe that it is a choice. I certainly do not believe that my political or religious beliefs are genetically determined, but neither are these choices that I made. I certainly did not choose to be an atheist, for example.

However, this is evidence that genetics is significantly involved.

Not conclusive evidence, though. If genetics were significant, then I would expect that fraternal twins would show the same statistics as the adopted siblings. Instead, in both cases we see the fraternal twins being higher (although I don't know whether this is significantly higher). In fact, it is exactly this evidence that makes me doubt that genetics is all that significant.
