- We were having a discussion in Ethics today about something, and I was
- wondering if anyone has any information on this. By the way, I am
- interested in data here, and not everyone's opinion on the matter.
-
- Does anyone know if there is any correlation between the sexual pref-
- erences of parents and their children? I'm talking about environmental
- factors, and not genetic factors. In other words, if a child has two
- gay or lesbian parents (or one), is there an increased chance that the
- child will be gay, lesbian or bisexual?
-
- Like I said, I'm not concerned with religious fanatics or in-your-face
- militant homosexuals and their opinions; I'd just like to be pointed to
- any studies done, and their findings, if you happen to know them.
-
- Thanks a lot,
- Ed
