That study looked at homosexual rates among 3,826 twins. They cited studies of identical twins, particularly one conducted in 2010 by a team led by psychiatric epidemiologist Niklas Langstrom. In their report, entitled “Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological and Social Sciences” published in The New Atlantis, the two researchers surveyed over 200 studies done on the topic in a variety of fields. Mayer has taught at over eight universities including Stanford and Princeton and McHugh served as chief psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins for 25 years and was also elected to the President’s council on bio ethics. Many consider the two men as leading scholars on mental health in America. The report was co-written by Johns Hopkins’ scholar in residence Lawrence Mayer who is also a statistics professor at Arizona State University and Paul McHugh a psychiatry professor at Johns Hopkins. This study runs contrary to what some are suggesting in recent years. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University recently released a study stating there was no conclusive evidence of a gene that causes a person to be gay, lesbian or transgender. Is being gay in our genes? Studies say no.
