A Must See TEDxTalk: ‘Homosexuality: It’s About Survival – Not Sex.’

Why are we gay? Is it nature, nurture, genetics, rearing, how your daddy treated you or wasn’t there? There are so many different beliefs. 

Enter Dr. James O’Keefe MD.  You need to listen to his thoughts on why we are gay. 

While listening to and watching this Tedx Talk, my head nodded, I questioned a couple of things, agreed with so much, and actually teared up a little.
