Comments on: The Gene that Dare Not Speak its Name http://www.ficml.org/jemimap/wordpress/2005/08/22/the-gene-that-dare-not-speak-its-name/ Cheating on the Kobayashi Maru since 2001 Mon, 25 May 2026 01:10:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.11 by: Jemima http://www.ficml.org/jemimap/wordpress/2005/08/22/the-gene-that-dare-not-speak-its-name/#comment-11783 Fri, 26 Aug 2005 03:26:58 +0000 http://www.ficml.org/jemimap/wordpress/2005/08/22/the-gene-that-dare-not-speak-its-name/#comment-11783 I'm sorry your second comment was trapped in the spam filter for a while. The Islamic approach to homosexual activities sounds similar to that of other religions, although I think the hardest part for secular people to understand is why homosexual activity should be discouraged in the first place--regardless of whether the tendency in inborn. I didn't think it was possible to conceive during menstruation, although I've heard it is possible to appear to menstruate after conception--in which case I image prenatal conditions wouldn't be at their best.

And so, in Islamic teachings, being 'gay" is believed to be something you are born as, and not the nurture point of view. But of course, even Islamic moderates wouldn't allow for homosexual activities to be religiously acceptable, they just believe that its one of the many "inner demons" one may be born with, and may have to struggle with.

I'd agree with the theory that there's something an anomaly in the mother's X chrom. that's stopping the activation of the father's Y chrom. Interestingly enough, according to Islamic teachings, the birth of an effeminate offspring is associated with the mother conceiving while she is menstrating, and other factors. It would be interesting to research how many affected children there are whose mom's fall under that category. Interesting article.
