We Asked a Scientist If Being Gay Is Natural

Trandescendant

About this episode

"Being gay is unnatural." If you've ever had someone throw that line at you in a conversation about LGBTQ+ people, you know how hard it is to respond in the moment. Do you have the facts to tell them why they are wrong? Dr. Pete Gasper, a veterinary scientist with over 20 years in biomedical research, reviewed the most current research and came back with an answer that leaves no room for doubt. Whether you're defending a loved one at the dinner table or just trying to arm yourself with the truth, this is the episode that gives you the confidence to respond. Once you know what science actually says, that argument loses all of its power.
