I need to hear more about the test. I think their claims of a test for homosexuality sounds dubious as I don't believe there is a firm genetic component for it.
They're probably testing for exposure to the HIV virus or some other disease commonly associated with homosexuality.
In regards to banning homosexuals from their country, I have no problem with them doing this at all.
The op said they are developing a test. HIV test already exist. why would they need to invent a whole new test.

Edward is also too ignorant to realize the vast majority of HIV in those parts of the world are spread by heterosexuals, not gays. How ironic though, for him as a black man from Africa pulling the gays = HIV infected card, considering black heterosexuals spread the overwhelming majority of HIV in the world.
I'm inclined to believe that a test for such a thing might one day exist.

Gayness may not be in our genes, but in the molecules that regulate them. New research suggests that epigenetic factors -- chemical "switches" attached to genes that turn them on or off -- are a more plausible heritable mechanism behind homosexuality than DNA itself.
Non-genetic changes to gene expression are called epi-marks, for epigenetics, the field of research dealing with the molecular on/off switches. Epi-marks are normally erased between generations, but there's recent evidence that they're sometimes passed from parent to child.
The search for genes that control sexual orientation is based on increasing evidence of a strong genetic component. Studies clearly show that homosexuality runs in families, with an increased rate among siblings and the maternal uncles of gay men, according to a 2011 review.
I read somewhere that homosexual activities are illegal in 79 countries. I wonder if that attitude and the policies of the United States are the reason why other countries hate the USA so much. Maybe it is not Christianity, which the liberals always like to state. Maybe it is the constant promotion of the liberal agenda that so many countries find offensive.

Edward is not a black man
