Cause of Homosexuality: Gene or Virus?
Thrasymachus Online: Cochran Interview:
Considering that gay-agendaphiles promote moral and cultural change that I'll never agree with, it really doesn't matter to me what the cause of homosexuality really is.
But from a public health perspective, I think it would be a great idea if at least a piece of what we're spending on AIDS research could be diverted toward checking out the ideas posited in this interview.
"Is there positive evidence for your theory?
There is no positive evidence. There is no positive evidence for any explanation, really. The high discordance in identical twins says that for sure, some environmental agent is important. People have approached this in a silly way since time immemorial: Freudian explanations were among the silliest.
What would a candidate virus look like?
My guess at a candidate virus would be a common viral infection that usually hits in childhood. Something like herpes I, or Epstein Barr, or chickenpox, or RSV, human herpesvirus six, human herpesvirus seven, or any one of hundreds of rhinoviruses and coronaviruses. Really, hard to guess. It might hit before birth, but wouldn't have to. It could well be an undiscovered virus: we find a new one infecting humans every few years. Last one I remember was human metapneumonia virus, discovered in 2001."
