Title:
Genetics and sexuality
Summary:
An article in the New York Times expounds upon the genetic basis of sexuality:
www.nytimes.com/2007/04/10/health/10gene.html
The Issue:
Journalist Nicholas Wade provides a long discussion about the genetics of sexuality, leading the reader to think that the mystery of human sexuality has been unravelled.

Highlights include an inability to distinguish "genetic" from "biological" factors, a lack of discussion of social factors, and reliance on questionable researchers such as J. Michael Bailey (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Michael_Bailey) for support of his argument.
