captaincabinet **User deleted account** (08/03/2012) [-] Is anyone else fascinated as to how people and animals become homosexual?
It can't be a mutation, because it would have died out hundreds of years ago, due to not having children, thus having nothing to pass it down to.
It could be something that requires a trigger, like depression. That would explain how two straight parents (in which at least one of them has the dormant gene) could produce a homosexual child, and would explain how homosexuality usually doesn't show until later in life. The flaw in this theory is that in some children, it shows much earlier.
However, it could also be a hormonal imbalance, which would explain the stereotypical feminine behaviour. However, the flaw in this theory is that not all gay people act like that.
Not being rude/intolerant/whatever, I just find the science behind it really interesting.

I was just thinking of mutations in the concept of how races survive, which doesn't really apply to modern humans. At least in the western world, survivability isn't as big an asset as it once was.

figosound (08/03/2012) [-] Mutations can happen in a lifespan, and be determined by other genes and conditions completely unrelated to homosexuality... Either way, gay people exists from the dawn of mankind, so we must accept it as a trait of our nature... Like the Ancient Greeks did.
