Why do between 3 and 5 per cent of the population become exclusively homosexual when they reach an age to make a choice of sexual preference? Is homosexuality due to a genetic or a hormonal defect?
In a society which shows hostility and contempt towards like to believe that homosexuality is inherited, due to defective genes. Some heterosexuals who fear homosexuality would like this as evidence of a defect which leads to a perversion or makes a deviant. Some homosexuals, who are frightened by society’s hostility to them, would like to believe that they are homosexual through no fault of their own. However, only one study has suggested an inherited origin of homosexuality. It lacked objectivity and was based on a selected group, most of whom were ‘criminals or severely abnormal’. There is no reason to believe that homosexuality occurs because of the inheritance of defective genes.
