Since homosexuality is a genetic trait then by following natural selection and sexual selection does that mean the homosexual gene would go extinct soon?
Homosexuality existed a long time ago but they still haven't died down.
I know that most homosexuals, who happen to be bisexuals, can still have an offspring and spread the genetic trait but the their chances on doing it is quite small.
Any thoughts on this idea?
no, people turn gay all the time when they go to prison
The genes causing homosexuality have an ESS that keeps it at about 5%.

Wouldn't our genes evolve into something else that would stop this?

At least she still has her teeth
Anyway, if the genetic trait causes increased attraction to one sex, and it's in a brother sister pair, the chance increases dramatically

You should read the Selfish Gene

>Since homosexuality is a genetic trait
No one has been able to conclusively prove this.

It is the accepted conclusion and points to the strongest evidence by far though.

accepted by literally who?
what about environmental factors?
what about inutero hormonal factors?
I would be more inclined to believe that the emotional state and diet of the mother during pregnancy would have a greater outcome on sexuality.

And yes, we still have environmental factors including diet, I'd say it's partly genetic.

its a compelling abstract ( I cant read cambridge articles). and the fact that it is technically a replication of Hamers work makes it seem more rigorous
it still seems like a jump to say that ALL human sexuality is genetically driven. The linkages found in homosexual brothers were not found in homosexual sisters or mixed-sexual siblings in other studies. But you have convinced me that some cases of human homosexuality can have, in part, a genetic factor.
But to answer the threads question.
if we allowed this part of the X chromosome to be the determining factor, the fact that it resides on the X should allow women to carry it without necessarily being affected by it. and therefore have a 50/50 chance to pass it on to her sons and daughters. Not enough pressure to select it out, so no homosexual extinction.
Thankyou for having an actual article to back up your question - this time OP was not a faggot

Alright, man.

I'm going to dig in deeper more with this.
Thanks to the anons, this whole thread helped me gain more insights.
