All that gives is the assertion that people can't change their identity because of the mental anguish it causes, yet the suicide rate among gays is a lot higher than the general population. I'm not going to pretend to know what goes on in everyone's head when they make the decision to become gay, but I do think all of the promotion of gay culture has something to do with it, and the fact that it would get them a lot of attention if they did come out. Though again, I cannot say for sure what goes on in the head of a mentally unstable person. The fact that people are willing to openly proclaim themselves to be gay in a society where doing so is punishable by death is, if anything, evidence of their mental instability.

The article just says "some studies suggest" that their may be genetic links, which isn't really proving anything. It even says "No studies have found specific "gay genes" that reliably make someone gay." All it gives are some assertions that have not been directly proven.

On the other hand, homosexuality has been regarded as a mental illness until recent times.
