Title: Is homosexuality subject to evolution?
Post by: thedoc on 21/07/2012 11:30:01
Loren Hamstra  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Please talk about the science based evidence for and against the trait of homosexuality being something a person is born with. It seems that evolution would contradict homosexuality being a genetic trait. If it was would t not have gone extinct by now? I have also read about identical twins where one is gay and the other is straight. Is this true?

Thank You

Loren H
