Celeb News: Gaga's "Born This Way" mentioned in article on homosexuality

Homosexuality may be caused by chemical modifications to DNA

Quote:

“Baby, I was born this way,” Lady Gaga sang in a 2011 hit that quickly became a gay anthem. Indeed, over the past 2 decades, researchers have turned up considerable evidence that homosexuality isn't a lifestyle choice, but is rooted in a person's biology and at least in part determined by genetics. Yet actual “gay genes” have been elusive.

A new study of male twins, scheduled for presentation at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) in Baltimore, Maryland, today, could help explain that paradox. It finds that epigenetic effects, chemical modifications of the human genome that alter gene activity without changing the DNA sequence, may have a major influence on sexual orientation.

Vilain's team stresses that the findings shouldn't be used to produce tests for homosexuality or a misguided “cure.” Bailey says he's not worried about such misuse. “We will not have the potential to manipulate sexual orientation anytime soon,” he says. And in any case, he adds, “we should not restrict research on the origins of sexual orientation on the basis of hypothetical or real implications.

I don't think they should restrict their research on sexual orientation, but they have to be cognizant of its hypothetical and real implications in a very homophobic world.

Born this Way is the true gay anthem. In my country, everytime they celebrate something LGBT-related, they always sing Born this Way.

Everyone at Uni knows I'm obsessed with Gaga, and the other day we were joking around about something and my friend said "Maybe you were born this way", and I replied "Ooo there aint no other way" and everyone laughed. Born this way ha impact, proving haters wrong! It's obviously still remembered - it was the lead single of one of the most anticipated albums this millenium, People aren't going to forget about it all of a sudden.

Unfortunately I think if we ever get to a stage where we can determine someones sexuality homosexuality will be finished

I've heard "born this way" a very surprising amount of times in casual conversation at uni, including in class debates as an argumentative point in a class discussion.
