There is also an additional element: Studies exploring genetics and behavior are open to question on the methodologies they employ. "Looking for associations is complicated," says TIME science reporter Alice Park, "and there are many ways of looking at associations." Still, many scientists have come to the conclusion that there is a genetic link to homosexuality, but they concede this may not necessarily...
