The Evolution of Homosexuality

Note that homosexuality is multifactorial in nature, and although I discuss several causes, I by no means intend to imply these are the only ones.

I discuss the evolutionary implications of homosexuality, as well as ad hominem fallacies.

See the following for more information.

It should also be noted that identical twins have an enormous possibility to both be gay (76% iirc), thus demonstrating a strong genetic component.

@brndnrckn

Not that I've noticed, except that I believe they're both polygenetic traits.

@Wotanraven and gay men tend to act like the opposite sex because when they try to form relationships with men, they often develop sexual feelings. which is why they develop better friendships with girls, and in turn they tend to get involved with things girls like to do. and women share a gay mans interest in men, so they relate better. also straight men often reject their gay friends for fear of being called gay themselves. there are lots of reasons why gays tend to act like the opposite sex.

@Wotanraven actually most gay men tend to be more masculine than feminine, its just that the masculine ones tend not to come out. the feminine ones tend to come out very early on in life as they are already branded as being gay because they act feminine. i can give you the links to some gay youtubers who are extremely masculine. also, this girl at my school is a lesbian, and every says she is the prettiest girl in school, and she is probably the most feminine girl ive ever met.

@Wotanraven actually the gay community has quite high crime rates compared to the heterosexuals. i think that the non-violence and calm you might see is a result of gay people being cast out of society, so therefore they become more aware of people and their feelings because they know what its like to be hurt. violence and masculinity have nothing to do with testosterone rates. in fact testosterone can actually make someone more feminine, depending on the circumstances.

@brndnrckn Gay men do have a tendency to be feminine in the way they act, and to being calmer, and more non-violent, perhaps due to less testosterone than hetero males. It's implausible that "acting gay" is a cultural thing that spread around the world's gays. True though, that some gay men are masculine, but I find it rare. I've never seen a feminine lesbian. I always thought it was weird, because if you're homosexual, why act like the opposite sex? So it must be a hormone thing.

[brndnrckn]

when your talking about the antibody theory, you say the male becomes less masculinised? does this mean gay men are genetically less masculine? because i thought i was just a social thing. and if so, why are some gay men masculine? and some straight men feminine?

[brndnrckn]

is there any link between homosexuality and left-handedness? they seem to work in a similar way.
