Understanding of Science at NYT

In his article in today's New York Times "Sunday Review", Mr Frank Bruni says:

This is either a bad understanding of how genetics works or a contradiction of the position that genetics determines sexual orientation.  The third alternative is that Mr Bruni is scared to death of an argument that descends into the question of if life begins at conception.
