Can science explain gender nonconformity?

Research question: Should gays and lesbians be allowed to get married?


Rosario, Vernon. "Can science explain gender nonconformity?" The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide 13.3 (2006): 39+.InfoTrac Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues Collection. Web. 10 Nov. 2011.




Summary:


This article talks about homosexuality and nature vs. nurture.  It discusses aspects of homosexuality that seem to be part of our nature, and the differences between a homosexual's brain and neurology compared to a heterosexual's. It then talks about the effects that nurture can have, and how growing up in certain environments can lead a person one way or the other.


Conclusion:


While this was interesting, it didn't exactly apply to my research question. It was a little helpful though, because if it were a proven fact that being a homosexual is genetic and not a choice, then homosexuals would have to be allowed to get married.
