Study Finds That No Single Gene Is Responsible For Same-Sex Behavior; Some Scientists Worry Research Will Be Misused

A new study that examined the DNA of nearly half a million men and women claims to dispel the notion that a single "gay gene" makes a person prone to same-sex behavior. The analysis found that although genetics are involved in who people choose to have sex with, there are no specific genetic predictors. The same day the study was published, the Broad Institute took the unusual step of posting essays by researchers who raised questions about the ethics, science and social implications of the project.
