Alan Osmond, who shot to fame in the late 1960s and early '70s as one of The Osmonds, is taking heat for penning an article that some in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) blogsophere have deemed homophobic. In his article for the Mormon website The Family, the 62-year-old Osmond brother not only argues that being gay is not genetic, but also comes out in defense of "reparation" therapy, which is sought by those seeking to change their sexual orientation: Research has NOT proved that homosexuality is genetic.
