the claim

There is a gay gene.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
1 source for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that there is a gay gene?

No. A peer-reviewed source states the scientific evidence for a gay gene is inconclusive, and a reported large genetic study found no single 'gay gene.' One popular book merely asserts that studies suggest a gay gene without substantiation.
