Yes, saying DNA is all that affects an individual would be ignorant of all the things that shape an individual including phenotype traits. That why I told Midnight Target he was wrong when he stated homosexuality was strictly genetic, like race. That's why I gave the example of identical twins. Identical twins are identical genetically. The miles and miles of DNA are exactly the same, every centimeter, every atom , exactly the same, unchanging, no nuances, but completely indistinguishable from the other. That's why I stated identical twins are genetically identical. They are. If on has a genetic heart defect, the other will have that same genetic heart defect. If one has any genetic disability or asset, the other will also have it. If sexual orientation was only genetic, both would have the same sexual orientation because there genes are identical.
Sexual orientation is not only genetic (like race) and that's why I brought up the twins. It wasn't to blindly state DNA was all there is to an individual. That type of thinking has led to atrocities in this world.
