Yes but that was probably before MRI's CAT scans and all of the very sophisticated ways they are now beginning to study the human brain.
In the short run studies like this won't change any minds- if you for some reason want to believe that homosexuality is a choice, or don't beliveve that, then you will go on believing it. But I did think it was interesting, and opens up some other avenues of thought.
If a biological basis to homosexuality is proven, how does it change the religious stance on the issue? That would make homosexuality DEFINITIVELY not a choice, and they would be confronted by the "fact" that God did indeed make us all different, including our sexuality.
