Prevalence of homosexuality in men is stable throughout time since many carry the genes
Around half of all heterosexual men and women potentially carry so-called homosexuality genes that are passed on from one generation to the next. This has helped homosexuality to be present among humans throughout history and in all cultures, even though homosexual men normally do not have many descendants who can directly inherit their genes.
According to previous research, sexual orientation is influenced to a degree by genetic factors and is therefore heritable. Chaladze says this poses a problem from an evolutionary perspective, because homosexual men tend not to have many offspring to whom they can provide their genetic material. In fact, they have on average five times fewer children than their heterosexual counterparts.
Based on Chaladze's calculations, male homosexuality is maintained in a population at low and stable frequencies if half of the men and roughly more than half of the women carry genes that predispose men to homosexuality.

Not scientific at all, but balderdash, whatever that word means.
Are homosexual men born that way or do they just get sucked into it?
There’s a homo gene?
“Prevalence of homosexuality in men is stable throughout time since many carry the genes”
Which genes are those? Oh, that’s right, you can’t name them, because nobody has ever found any.
It’s amazing how male/boy rape can effectively keep a practice alive.
Probably lots of them. Not as many as homo Bruces, or homo Lances, but I’m sure there are homo Genes.
“Not scientific at all, but balderdash, whatever that word means.”
It is a mathematical study, not a biological study.
According to previous research, sexual orientation is influenced to a degree by genetic factors and is therefore heritable. …Mathematical studies based on false premises are indeed balderdash.
So.... if half of heterosexuals carry the “gay” gene, that means...
that at least 25% of the general public are genetically predisposed to being gay. Since only 1-3% are that means...
that 90% or so of people who are genetically predisposed to being gay aren’t gay. That means...
that genetics is not a primary factor in being gay.
Which is not surprising since a gene which means you have 100% chance of failure to reproduce offspring would require a fantastic genetic advantage to those who have 1 of 2 copies of the gene.
Jordache? Levis?
Yeah, ok, sure. Mind telling us what gene that is, Springer?
How about the prevalence for other common mental disorders? Did not bother to study those, did you?

Winner! Post of the Day!!!
Bull shyte, pure homo fudge.
Genes that they can’t find, no matter how hard they try.
If it’s genetic then that means there can be a solution to this genetic malady and that we can screen carriers of the mutant gene and perhaps fix it somehow.
From the article: “Around half of all heterosexual men and women potentially carry so-called homosexuality genes that are passed on from one generation to the next.”
I shoveled a bunch of this crap out of the horse corrals this morning.
No, some of them just get it shoved down their...wait, what were we talking about?
