Ok, so if evolution and naturally gay people are real, why are people still gay?

If you believe that homosexuality is a genetic mutation, it should be fair to say that there is a chance of it being passed down by reproduction, a basic principle of evolution. Now considering how gay people didn't have the means to produce naturally (unless they get with a girl) until recently, how could gayness still exist in such large numbers?

Gayness would have been evolved out of in the very first parts of human history! People may have hidden it for social reasons, but how does it exist in animals still today? It would have existed in what evolutionists believe to be cavemen.

Either the gays or evolutionists are lying. I think I believe the gays. Anyone wanna prove me wrong?

    that is not one gene. Homosexuality is a type of issues, like intelligence, that probable is concerning various genes and probable atmosphere besides (interior the expression, not the occurrence, probable). And scientists are not effective why gay each and every physique is around, yet in some societies, the sisters of 0.33 gender people (not somewhat gay, yet close adequate for this purpose- not procreating, at any fee) have greater young ones. is clever; till very those days, prolonged households have been the norm, and yet another grownup interior the domicile with out young ones of their own will advance the survival benefit of the different young ones. Evolution is definitely complicated, and what looks glaring isn't what definitely happens.

    I doubt if the main theory is that gays inherit homosexuality in as straight forward a fashion as when we inherit hair color, but even if that is the theory, the fact that homosexuality does not allow for reproduction does not mean the gene would be eliminated.

    People inherit all sorts of things that prevent them from procreating. Often people inherit things that kill them before they are old enough to procreate. The reason those genes are still around is because they are recessive genes.

    So the child would have to inherit this gay gene from both parents in order to be gay. Much as I inherited my blonde genes from both parents even though both had dark hair.

    But there is also a theory that hormonal fluctuations in the womb lead to homosexuality - or genetics plus environmental factors.

    I'm afraid you misunderstand. It isn't homosexuality itself, it is the potential to produce homosexual offspring that is genetic. Non-reproducing individuals improve the chances of any additional children within the family group without adding any children themselves as homosexuals do not generally reproduce.

    If homosexuality disproves evolution in your mind, why don't ants and bees raise an eyebrow? They produce an overwelming number of non-reproducing individuals to run the nest/hive and care for the offspring of their mother. You aren't questioning why it is that worker ants and bees haven't died out yet though, have you?

    This, to me, shows a simple bias against evolution and homosexuality. The fact that you say you "believe the gays" on the other hand suggests an even greater bias against evolution.

    Homosexuality is NOT genetic...it is a choice. I know people that used to be gay, then decided how wrong it was and became straight. There is not any gay gene, and there never will be. It's an identity problem, a person that is searching where they belong at. Although, they are confused about the reasons and ideas surrounding their decision. It is morally wrong. If God consented to gays, he would have made Adam and Steve. End of discussion.

    Just because a baby has down syndrome doesn't mean their parents have it. Two tall parents can have a short kid.

    You really shouldn't be posting about genetics/science. Conservatives don't have the brain power to understand it. Just listen to college professors. They're almost all liberals and therefore right.

    homosexuality isn't passed down from parent to child!

    By your logic, 2 straight people CANNOT produce a gay child.

    Being gay is not a choice........it is genetic...........

    But being genetic doesn't mean it's always passed down from direct descendants.

    and homosexuality isn't an "all or nothing" trait.

    Some people are bi....some people are different degrees of gay.

    So bi people can pass down the trait when reproducing.
