Nature v. Nurture: Another study on Homosexuality Now with a Poll!

Thu Jun 19, 2008 at 08:02:30 AM PDT

V2: Hey, I saw people were going to the Geraldo of Homosexuality the "Homosexuality getting married is icky" topic, so I thought I needed to bring people back...so a poll!"

WHO should I marry? You pick! See below!

I thought this might be of interest for discussion.

For those that want to track down the full article:

'Genetic and Environmental Effects on Same-sex Sexual Behaviour: A Population Study of Twins in Sweden', Niklas Långström, Qazi Rahman, Eva Carlström, Paul Lichtenstein, Archives of Sexual Behaviour, 7 June 2008, doi 10.1007/s10508-008-9386-1.

This was in summary a study on twins, (7600 pairs of Swedish male and female twins, in 05-06). Of the total, 7 percent have had a same-sex partner.

I do not, sorry to say, have access to the whole article, just to a summary report. If someone can get the whole article to share that would beyond fantastic.

<more after the break>

Poll

You pick. I marry.

Failing Children, Accountability and Testing [FCAT] ©

Mon Jun 19, 2006 at 11:22:10 AM PDT


* Dear reader, as you review this treatise, please consider, the parallels.  Pedagogy and poverty are poignant concerns in Florida and throughout the United States.

The results were announced; Florida students overwhelmingly failed the science portion of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test [FCAT].  More than two thirds of the population tested below grade level.  Science instructors are looking at the recent test results as an opportunity.  They have a chance to improve their curriculum.  The Science studies departments are planning more hands-on instruction.  They intend to attend seminars on how to best prepare students in the summer.

J.P. Keener, the supervisor of secondary science education for Broward County promotes the positive.  This official says, ``we're in a good position to line everything up to attack this exam seriously."  Then, the administrator adds, "Now, the last part is the kids, and that's the unpredictable part.''
