Study links gene to homosexuality
Intellectually, the article is attractive. Gay men inherit a gene that in women causes fruitfulness and in men causes fruitiness.
Does explain the prevalence of homosexuality throughout history, when, logically, such men cannot reproduce and pass-on their genes.
Still, I’d argue there’s much more nurture than nature at work here. The distribution of homo/heterosexual men within a given society varies much too widely: In ancient Greece, nearly every wealthy man was wholly or partly homosexual; it was a societal norm. Unless all of their mothers were carrying this ‘fruitful’ gene, such a skewed distribution points towards learned behavior to me.
Do people have tendencies? Absolutely! However, social mores will determine how those tendencies find express, in all but the most extreme ends of the bell curve.
