That would be the pudding (where the proof lies :)) so to speak, long before there was any behavior to be learned from, I knew I was attracted to women... ;) A close family member (who is gay), also says he consciously knew he was gay when he was 14 or 15, but that he always felt it.
Going back to the origin of the thread, I know that even though from a very young age, my parents took me to church, I never felt attracted to religion. So, after extensive testing over the last 26 years, I've concluded sex is hard coded, and religion is not. Does it mean anything? Nope. It doesn't really matter if someone's behavior is hard coded or not, as long as they are not buggy... -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursday, December 5, 2002, 5:32:44 PM, you wrote: MM> Michael, you got genes that tell you that you're a man, are you not MM> controlled by that?
