Why Are There Gay Men?

Quote
Turns out, the moms and aunts of gay men have an advantage over the moms and aunts of straight men for several reasons: They are more fertile, displaying fewer gynecological disorders or complications during pregnancy; they are more extroverted, as well as funnier, happier and more relaxed; and they have fewer family problems and social anxieties. "In other words, compared to the others, [they are] perfect for a male," Camperio Ciani said. Attracting and choosing from the best males enables these women to produce more offspring, he noted.

The new study will appear in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

Interesting to say the least.

Eh... This sort of contradicts my personal experience. Will be interesting to read when the thing is published and available.

Well, if he does turn out to be gay, I hope that by the time he wants to be open about it, he won't risk losing friends, being bullied, frozen out or otherwise mistreated because of it.

Agreed Asmo!  I sincerely hope that our society becomes completely accepting and loving towards homosexuals within my lifetime whether I have a gay child or not.

Maybe, if true,  this would qualify as an evolutionary side-effect something like sickle cell anaemia.

I am still under the impression that being gay is genetic.  And that we all have the gene. Were not the guys from South park right when they said that everyone is a little gay?  The most homophobic men most often are also the ones in the closet anyway. All that pent up frustration.

The Mayans predicted that everyone would be gay by 2050, so you could be right. Then again, they also predicted that Richard Dawkins would be elected pope the following year.
