If homosexuals are “born that way”

Homosexuality occurs in many species.

If it’s a recessive trait it wouldn’t be. Same reason there are genetic diseases that kill children before they are able to reproduce

You are welcome.

If there was 100% a gay gene discovered and there was a genetic treatment to correct the genetic defect you would see the gay community and their Woke supporters lose their shite.

I’ve always thought they MUST be born that way & can’t help it because I know I was born attracted to the opposite sex & there’s no way I would ever want to be sexual with the same sex. I don’t really know though-I just know in my case I couldn’t change even if it was “wrong”

Then it’s a genetic trait. And if it’s a genetic trait wouldn’t have evolution made that characteristic “extinct” since homosexuals would obviously be procreating less prolifically than heterosexuals?

Anyone care to explain this to me?

The research tends to indicate that there are a number of factors. Yes, there are a number of genetic markers that strongly associate with homosexuality. There are also indications that exposure to unusual hormone levels in utero may play a factor. It also seems clear that post-natal environmental factors can play a role. It seems that the genetic factors in particular may PREDISPOSE one to be gay, but they certainly do not mandate it.

Your question seems to be most-tied to the genetic element. If those markers were located on the Y chromosome and associated ONLY with male homosexuality, you might be correct and homosexuality would "die out" in a few generations. But the same genetic markers are also closely associated with a number of positive factors when present in females. I am not taking the time to find the data for you, but my recollection is that females with those markers tend to have (among other things) higher fertility rates.

So, the male homosexuals (obviously) are not passing those markers to the next generation in great numbers, but their straight sisters ARE doing so.

EDIT

Here and here are a couple of summaries of the study, which seems to have been conducted in 2004.

It is a genetic safety mechanism to keep genetically mentally fricked up individuals from reproducing.

Homosexuals are born that way. I would know that since I'm one.

The best possible proof for that is this: Why would people in places like Saudi Arabia decide to be gay if they weren't born that way? Condemning yourself to a life of suffering and fear just for the hell of it?

There are some rare combinations out there too. I was originally the 3rd from youngest out of the 1st cousin generation. Now due to my 4 months younger cousin dying a couple years ago from a one off rare genetic combination, I am 2nd from youngest.

His genetic combination is a known rarity (I forget the name of the condition) that usually kills, by stroke, in the late 30's to mid 40's. He made it to just short of 55 with no idea he had it until it hit. We still have no idea which side of the family contributed to what either as his eldest brother, the dentist, subsequently paid for everyone in their family (down to Aunt's great grandchildren) to get tested for it. Deceased cousin is the only one with a trace of it at all. No others in the 1st cousin generation have even had strokes, heart attacks; yes, strokes; nada.

So I can envision a rare genetic combo causing 3% or fewer adults to be homo. However, I have yet to see the gene combo identified, or even hinted at. So yeah, "skeptic" (as in laughingly doubtful) present and accounted for.
