A UCLA study proving the environment plays a role in homosexuality was presented at an annual scientific conference last week, gaining publicity in an unlikely platform.
Not only had the study been misrepresented in a way that led many publications to announce that a “gay gene” had been found, it was done so all without the necessary authorization of the senior author and principal investigator of the research, Dr. Eric Vilain. What is more shocking is that the scientist who presented the research, Dr. Tuck Ngun, who is openly gay, was offended by his own research and decided to completely abandon the lab a week before the conference for fear of it shedding a negative light on homosexuality.
