A new study is providing insights into the genetics of homosexuality -- at least in fruit flies.

Researchers have discovered a gene involved in homosexual behavior in the tiny flies. They also found a way to turn homosexuality on and off with drugs.

Humans have a similar gene. But it's unclear what effect, if any, the gene has on homosexual behavior in people, said biologist David Featherstone of the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Fruit flys. How apt.

This would doubtless account for the increasing buzz on Craigslist of late......

Who is this Gene? - and why is he messing with fruit flies?

And you have issues period. If this research indeed indicates that homosexuality is due to genes and nothing to do with social conditioning, there goes your faith.

Convince them they are the chosen, exclusive and special people. Teach them that all others are false and there is only ONE right way to think or faith to express. Teach them that right way just happens be where they are.

Disable their ability to challenge or disbelieve the information given. Lower their immunity. Faith is superior to reason. "The wisdom of man is foolishness with God."

Establish a library of true literature and correct answers, for the faithful and discourage reading outside of this one true source, usually provided by the chief virus and his team of pathogens.

Emotionally, spiritually, psychologically or literally kill all immune persons. If you can't infect them, eliminate them.

If sexual expression in flies and in humans are the same, then this means that human gender is controlled by a single gene.

Gene Lockhart or Gene Roddenberry?

Gene Tierney

Is that why they are called "fruit" flies?

Bees are all female except those fed a special diet as pupae, which then become male.
