Please explain the adaptive purpose that would typically necessitate the cessation of your genetic line?

Actually, I’ve hypothesized previously that a genetic defect of this variety would be natures response to “cull the herd” and basically reduce the numbers of the species with such a genetic anomaly.

The premise of this article isn’t necessarily false, but simply fails to expand upon the possible reasons on why such a genetic defect would manifest itself if it exists, IMO.

That presupposes that "nature" is some sort of conscious mind that is capable of making such a "decision." But if "nature" wanted to "cull the herd", why wouldn't nature develop a more efficient means of reducing the population than simply making 2-3% of the population homosexual? Wouldn't plagues be a much more efficient way of culling the herd?
