Riyadh - Beth: International public opinion has recently been preoccupied with the issue of homosexuality and the rights of homosexuals, and the public, implicit and hidden support for homosexuals from several circles and organizations, and on the other hand, there are multiple attempts to confront this trend officially, and combat it by presidents, symbols and bodies at the world level.

There were claims promoted by the media that scientific research proved that homosexuality is not a person’s choice, and that homosexuality is natural and innate. The American sociologist, Neil Whitehead, and Briar Whitehead, a journalist and writer, wrote with him, whose book is famous for her book on homosexuals who changed their sexual orientation, the authors wrote Their book: Did My Genes Make Me Like This? Translated by Abdul Qadir Musaed, and published by the Center for Research and Knowledge Communication.

The book was first printed in 1999, and its second edition was published in 2016. The authors began their study of this complex issue since 1978, and the abundance of the study’s content resulted from their treatment of applied research on adults, adolescents and the genetics world, and this latest edition (2018) that the Center published today It is the fifth edition, after the authors reviewed more than ten thousand research papers.

The study showed that understanding the function and structure of the gene indicates that there is no way that genes can dictate homosexuality or other behaviors on a person. And that scientists confirmed that any genetic influence is weak and indirect, and no genetically dictated human behavior was found.

She pointed to a large number of results confirming the failure of studies that studied the extent to which the brains of homosexuals differ from the brains of normal people, and they reached disappointing results.

The study confirmed that homosexuality is an environmental, cultural and not a genetic issue, a fact proven by several proofs and evidence. The book lists in an interesting way the evidence to prove the authors' argument by linking and deducing the various neurological, genetic, psychological and social sciences, in order to reach scientific results that confirm the authors' point of view. There is no convincing genetic, hormonal, or even social or environmental factor alone. Rather, they are several factors that are dominated by culture, environment and upbringing.

The most important thing is that the study concluded the inevitability of the possibility of change and the return of the ideal to the normal state.

In its presentation of the book, the Center for Research and Knowledge Communication in Riyadh reviewed a number of studies that deny the influence of the gene on homosexuality, and agreed to attribute homosexuality and homosexuality to many social factors. It also indicated the orientation of a large part of the international community towards this issue and its condemnation, referring to examples from countries that have declared their hostility to this trend, such as Russia, China, Poland, Hungary and Georgia.

The center considers its publication of the book as a desire to clarify the dimensions of a global issue, which its supporters tried to impose under the pretext of democracy without regard to another party that rejects it completely, in addition to the book being a sure way to understand human societies through knowledge, which is at the core of the work of the Center for Research and Knowledge Communication.
