The genome-wide research on DNA from nearly half a million US and UK adults identified five genetic variants not previously linked with gay or lesbian sexuality. The variants were more common in people who reported having had a same-sex sexual partner, including people whose partners were exclusively of the same sex and those who mostly reported heterosexual behavior.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\">The researchers said<\/a> thousands more genetic variants likely are involved and interact with factors that aren\u2019t inherited\u2014but that none of them cause same-sex behavior or can predict whether someone will be gay. The study&#8217;s authors say the research \u201cprovides the clearest glimpse yet into the genetic underpinnings of same-sex sexual behavior.\u201d They add, \u201cWe also found that it\u2019s effectively impossible to predict an individual\u2019s sexual behavior from their genome. Genetics is less than half of this story for sexual behavior but it\u2019s still a very important contributing factor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you like same-sex experiences?
