My
Genes Made Me Do It!
A Scientific Look at Sexual Orientation
By Dr Neil Whitehead and Briar Whitehead
Publisher: Huntington House,
P.O.Box 53788,
Lafayette, Louisiana, LA 70505
This book claims homosexuality is both nature and nurture, but calculates the average in the population is 10% genetic and 90% environmental, and shows that this is not fixed – change is possible. It draws its arguments from incidence in the population, the development of sexual orientation as a child, instincts, intersexes, cultures, prenatal hormones, neurology, genetics. It contains arguments not found elsewhere. Although cutting edge science and summarising 1700 papers, it is very accessible to the average reader.
In addition, Craving for Love, (subtitle Emotional dependency, homosexuality, and the God who heals, Monarch, UK, 1993, never published in the USA) although out of print, seems to have created a continuing demand, particularly among women. Some have described it to us as a classic. It particularly deals with the psychological roots of dependencies. We can make available a version your wordprocessor can read.
