Will this help by explaining gayness is not a choice contributing to more acceptance?

Will it harm by pidgeon-holing and perhaps genetic tests with the unborn in uteri contributing to a culture devoid of gays?

Children with differences tenhance our culture. I would be excited to think the first would happen and increase acceptance. This of course, if all further studies play out.

New evidence suggests genetics is a significant factor for whether an individual is homosexual or heterosexual.
The findings emanate from a Canadian study of the brains of healthy, right-handed, 18- to 35-year-old homosexual and heterosexual men using structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2007/11/08/born-to-be-gay/1504.html">The size of the corpus callosum is largely inherited suggesting a genetic factor in sexual orientation, said Witelson</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2007/11/08/born-to-be-gay/1504.html">The researchers also undertook a correlational analysis which included size of the corpus callosum, and test scores scores on language, visual spatial and finger dexterity tests. “By using all these variables, we were able to predict sexual orientation in 95 per cent of the cases,” she said.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2007/11/08/born-to-be-gay/1504.html"><SPAN class="author">
