The Amerin Psychologil Associatn, the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn, and even gay rearchers regnize that homosexualy nnot be rced to blogy alone.

My inty as a gay man and as a nservatnist are separable parts of who I am, and I’m proud of how the Natnal Wildlife Feratn’s mment to Equy and Jtice all of s forms has grown to what is today. As a gay man, I’ve been given the unique opportuny to unrstand why ’s so important that we fight for the survival and rights of the begs and elements that n’t stand up for themselv.

Travis Clough, director of trail operatns for the Venture Out Project, says he often hears people say, “Nature don’t re if you’re gay. In other words, homosexualy nature shouldn’t exist bee fails to meet the fundamental crern by which gen (and therefore tras) are passed on- reproductn.

WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? GAY BY CHOICE OR IS BEG GAY GEIC?

If homosexualy has persisted the populatn, ’s likely there’s some kd of benef that nfers to dividuals that n pensate for s huge st, i. In most s, homosexual behavr nfers the dividual wh benefs that outweigh s potential sts (see why we do what we do and not what we don’t do).

Sce most dividuals that show homosexual behavr are bisexuals (holds for animals and humans), ’s been proposed that they engage homosexual behavr as a practice before they n engage heterosexual behavr.

NO ‘GAY GENE’: MASSIVE STUDY HOM ON GEIC BASIS OF HUMAN SEXUALY

It’s possible that a lack of heterosexual mat uld lead dividuals (pecially mal) to rort to homosexual behavur to release their sexual tratns. The same dynamic uld be at play prisons where otherwise heterosexual men engage homosexual activy bee of a lack of heterosexual outlets.

In theory, humans and other animals who are exclively attracted to others of the same sex should be unlikely to produce many blogil children, so any gen that predispose people to homosexualy would rarely be passed on to future generatns.

Yet same-sex attractn is wispread humans, and rearch suggts that is partly a study of data om hundreds of thoands of people, rearchers have now intified geic patterns that uld be associated wh homosexual behavur, and showed how the might also help people to fd different-sex mat, and reproduce. The thors say their fdgs, published on 23 Augt Nature Human Behavur1, uld help to expla why gen that predispose people to homosexualy ntue to be passed down.

Most of the participants were born durg a time when homosexualy was eher illegal or culturally taboo their untri, so many people who were attracted to others of the same sex might never have actually acted on their attractn, and uld therefore have end up the wrong group the Monk, an elogist and evolutnary blogist at Yale Universy New Haven, Connecticut, thks that the veats are so important that the paper n’t draw any real nclns about geics and sexual orientatn. Instead, he thks the rearchers have found geic markers associated wh openns to new experienc, which uld expla the overlap between people who have had a homosexual partner and heterosexual people who have had many partners.

And he adms that g a sgle homosexual experience as an ditn of sexual orientatn isn’t ial, but says that the UK Bbank didn’t provi data on attractn. Pri holds a special place the hearts of lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer, tersex, asexual+ (LGBTQIA+) dividuals as a time to celebrate the progrs we have ma, and advote for the advanc yet to e.

Here, I highlight ways which the scientific muny has had a ccial role drivg this progrs, and provi a personal perspective on the importance of beg open and proud of my inty as a gay cell blogist. Scientific rearch has been ccial for unrstandg and unterg the effects of homophobia, transphobia and other forms of anti-LGBTQIA+ discrimatn on dividual and public health. In the mid-twentieth century, domant nservative forc opposed the exprsn of non-cisgenr and non-heterosexual inti, and the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn (APA) baselsly and whout medil evince classified homosexualy as a mental disorr1.

Pneerg scientific studi — cludg those by Aled Ksey and Evelyn Hooker — provid key evince on the prevalence of same-sex sexual behavurs, and showed that dividuals that intify as homosexual or heterosexual do not exhib distct psychologi1.

Efforts to unrstand the disease wrongly referred to by some at the time as “gay ncer” were hred by the prejudic triggered by a adly fectn that uld be sexually transmted and emerge wh a disproportnate prevalence the LGBTQIA+ muny. The momentum for civil rights was buildg toward key legal and polil victori for the marriage equaly movement, supported, part, by ongog social scientific studi that dited that children wh same-sex and gay parents experience siar out4, 5.

I drew spiratn om a variety of role mols, and began the slow, sometim paful, but ultimately eeg procs of tellg my clost iends and fay that I am a gay man. I was lucky to have the privilege of g to terms wh my inty surround by muni that were largely welg and my graduate studi the 2000s, even a liberal universy environment, I remember seeg relatively few openly gay scientists, pecially at the faculty level.

I am extraordarily grateful to have found labs, lleagu and prcipal vtigators who were proud to support all the aspects of my, as a faculty member myself, I am experiencg how much beg openly gay n ntribute to my teachg and mentorg, although I still get a ltle nervo when I say out loud to stunts.

In the Uned Stat, the promence of anti-racism monstratns has provid further remrs that homophobia and transphobia be wh systemic racism to disproportnately impact people of lour who intify as LGBTQIA+. Sce my own g out, I have personally been amazed by the creasg numbers of openly gay scientists across reer stag whom I enunter nearly every classroom or profsnal event. ” If scientists n show that homosexualy is a geic tra, then homosexuals may have a legimate claim to beg protected as a mory class unr feral and state civil rights laws.

Whatever the oute of scientific studi, the most important pot that we n make is that the qutn over the geic nature of homosexualy is pletely irrelevant to the bate. The most effective tactic homosexual activists employ is to wrap their allegatns a veneer of science when talkg about their sexual orientatn. Members of the public tomatilly give heavy crence to any claim that origat wh a profsnal medil anizatn or a prtig journal, and homosexual theorists know this.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATN IS GAY?

The first large study that claimed that homosexuals are “born that way” was performed by Aled Ksey, and culmated his 1948 report entled Sexual Behavr the Human Male. Simon LaVey, himself a homosexual, examed the bras of 35 male davers (16 heterosexuals and 19 homosexuals) to see if he uld fd any differenc between the groups.

Addnally, three of the “heterosexual” bras had smaller no clters than the average of the “homosexual” on, and three of the “homosexual” bras had larger no clters than the average of the “heterosexual” on.

In other words, the bra no might be smaller bee of homosexual activy stead of g , the same way that var other parts of the bra expand or ntract wh more or ls age. In sets of intil tws, where one brother was homosexual, they found that there was a 52% chance that the other tw was homosexual as well.

The ncln that the thors drew om the parisons was this: that the cince of homosexualy be higher as the geic lk between brothers be closer. Sendly, the fact that 48% of the intil tws of homosexual brothers the study were not homosexuals themselv dit that homosexualy is largely the rult of environmental fluenc.
