Important information edit

In one study of over 100 pairs of male twins, it was found that where one twin had a homosexual orientation, the other twin was also homosexual in 40 percent of the cases where the twins were identical. In the case of biological twins (i.e., from separate eggs) if one sibling was homosexual, it was found that the other was also homosexual in 24 percent of the cases. There is increasing consensus among researchers that sexual orientation is substantially influenced by hereditary factors.(Neill, p.69)

Recent research at the University of Georgia by a team led by Dr. Henry Adams found that there is a direct correlation between the degree of dread or hostility that people experience regarding homosexuality and the level of a person's same-sex responsiveness. The researchers found that individuals who score in the homophobic range and admit negative effect toward homosexuality demonstrate significant sexual arousal to male homosexual erotic stimuli. That is, overt homophobia masks significant same-sex responsiveness. The research additionally suggested that men with very low or no homosexual responsiveness at all may be relatively rare.(Neill, p.6)
