What basic fact about homosexualy do you, your parents, your lol evangelil prit, and your science teacher most likely agree about? Try this one: Homosexuals don't reproduce.
The argument dat om antiquy and has nstuted one of the rnerston of Wtern sexual morals that se homosexualy as "agast nature. And until today the scientific muny has operated wh the same basic certaty the background: Homosexualy is trsilly sterile.

Anthropologil data are astonishgly nsistent: For the most part, homosexual relatnships have been perfectly patible wh the reproductive duty. Transgenr homosexuals, who were attributed or granted the right to adopt the oppose or a third genr, were the only exceptns to this le.
Remember that Osr Wil had two the end, the ncept of the "barren homosexual" only appli to recent generatns. After WWII and particularly sce the sexual revolutn the 1970s, a new -- morn -- type of homosexual relatnships, which no longer mand a difference stat between partners (whether age, genr, or class), beme the new relatnal standard. One of gay inty's novelti is to champn an exclive tert same-sex partners.

Left to them, many homosexuals today would create parental relatnships outsi of their romantic and/or maral bond to a same-sex partner.
By and large anthropologil and historil data, cludg the most recent on, nfirm that homosexuals procreate. The ia that homosexual sex preclus reproductn go hand--hand wh the ia that heterosexual sex is "always" about the possibily of procreatn.
Fet about the ty actn of homosexuals that exhib zero tert procreatg; most women passed the age of 50 -- about 20 to 25 percent of the female populatn -- nnot reproduce.
ARE HIGHLY FERTILE WOMEN MORE LIKELY TO HAVE GAY SONS?

Why has our culture been so outraged by homosexual behavr?
From a pro-homosexual perspective, the rponse to this issue has monly been that people are eher ignorant or ill-tentned. The list of brilliant thkers -- whether philosopher, theologian, or scientist, who have cricized and more often than not nmned homosexual behavr throughout history -- monstrat how much homophobia is not a matter of ignorance or malevolence (even though ignorance and malevolence n and have patently amplified ) are then left wh a new, possibly greater, mystery to solve: Why do human begs see some thgs as te -- no matter what --a nd rema totally bld to others? It is, I believe, only by addrsg those qutns first that we will be able to unrstand the history of homosexualy and the reasons of s tegratn or rejectn human societi, a problem that has baffled scholars for s now.

Ovulatn is a really eful blogil functn. Not only do facilate pregnancy — though sperm are no short supply, the ephemeral egg appears jt once a month — but new rearch fds that also helps a woman select potential partners by enhancg her "gaydar. * are gay fertile *
In other words, I argue that there is a sign to the fact that we nnot make sense of homosexualy. While female sexualy appears to be more fluid, rearch suggts that male gayns is an born, unalterable, strongly geilly fluenced tra.
But nsirg that the tra disurag the type of sex that leads to procreatn — that is, sex wh women — and would therefore seem to thwart s own chanc of beg geilly passed on to the next generatn, why are there gay men at all? Put differently, why haven't gay man gen driven themselv extct?
IS HE GAY? OVULATG WOMEN CAN TELL
For several years, studi led by Andrea Camper Ciani at the Universy of Padova Italy and others have found that mothers and maternal nts of gay men tend to have signifintly more offsprg than the maternal relativ of straight men. The rults show strong support for the "balancg selectn hypothis, " which is fast beg the accepted theory of the geic basis of male theory holds that the same geic factors that duce gayns mal also promote fecundy (high reproductive succs) those mal' female maternal relativ.
Through this tra-off, the maternal relativ' "gay man gen, " though they aren't exprsed as such, tend to get passed to future generatns spe of their tenncy to make their male herors no one knows which gen, exactly, the might be, at least one of them appears to be loted on the X chromosome, acrdg to geic molg by Camper Ciani and his lleagu. Mal her only one X chromosome — the one om their mother — and if clus the gene that promot gayns mal and fecundy femal, he is likely to be gay while his mom and her female relativ are likely to have lots of kids.
If a dghter hers that same X-lked gene, she herself may not be gay, but she n pass on to her sons.

[Why Are There Gay Women? ]But how might the "gay man gene" make femal more reproductively succsful? Prevly, the Italian rearchers suggted that the "gay man gene" might simply crease androphilia, or attractn to men, thereby makg the mal who posss the gene homosexual and the femal who posss more promiscuo.

But after vtigatg the characteristics of 161 female maternal relativ of homosexual and heterosexual men, the rearchers have adjted their hypothis. Rather than makg women more attracted to men, the "gay man gene" appears to make the women more attractive to men.
The androphilic pattern that we found is about femal who crease their reproductive value to attract the bt mal, " Camper Ciani told Life's Ltle out, the moms and nts of gay men have an advantage over the moms and nts of straight men for several reasons: They are more fertile, displayg fewer gynelogil disorrs or plitns durg pregnancy; they are more extroverted, as well as funnier, happier and more relaxed; and they have fewer fay problems and social anxieti. "It is que possible that there are several fluenc on formg a homosexual orientatn, " said Gelf Rieger, a sexual orientatn rearcher at Cornell Universy.
