Scientific evidence

[edit]

The article immediately goes ahead, as required by our guidelines, to say that acquired homosexuality "is [a] discredited idea". Given the emphasis, I don't know what exactly to expect but I certainly didn't expect the "Scientific evidence" section to be that scanty or have only one source citation. Anyone wanna expand it? More sources? — Python Drink (talk) 19:05, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To be more specific, I'm very much interested in seeing scientific evidence that points to homosexuality being innate. I actually want to show this to people so I want more sources and expansion. — Python Drink (talk) 19:07, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Python Drink A good place to start in expanding the article could be the sources cited by Bailey et al. Or, you could try posting on WT:MED and do your own searches. We also have articles on Environment and sexual orientation and biology and sexual orientation which may have additional useful resources. However, most medical researchers don't frame their questions primarily in terms of "innate" vs. "not innate" meaning that studies can't be cited in this article without WP:original research.
