"There are a lot of racist gay wh around, " relled an Aborigal man 1980s oral history accsed by Dr muny was also challenged by the AIDS crisis and associated "fear and moral panic" the late 80s, Dr Hodge the Terrory, the queer muny rpond to the global crisis wh a lol AIDS uncil — a ty office tablished 1985 and n on a shotrg Darw's CBD. "[The fact] that today we enjoy such a society is substantially due to the urageo and ntug efforts of many of the Northern Terrory's lbian, gay and trans cizens, " Dr Hodge said. Historilly, many people have held strong moral views about homosexualy and such views often stem om relig beliefs or an ia that heterosexualy is “natural” and everythg else is unnatural or perverse.

Analysis of tw pair rrelatns many studi shows that geic factors acunt for around 30% to 50% of variatn sexual orientatn, although we have yet to fd a specific “gay gene”. I have shown that psychologilly feme men and psychologilly mascule women (those who see themselv as siar to the oppose genr) are more likely to be homosexual. Usg geic mollg on thoands of intil and non-intil tws, I’ve shown the above is due to geic factors wh multiple effects: the predispose to homosexualy and sex-atypily and, heterosexuals, to havg more sexual partners.

Consistent wh this, I’ve also shown that heterosexuals who have a homosexual -tw (and who therefore may rry “gay gen”) tend to have a higher than average number of sexual partners – that is, they are more succsful at acquirg mat. So appears that any evolutnarily trimental effect of “gay gen” (predisposg to homosexualy) is balanced out by the evolutnarily beneficial effects (creased matg succs) heterosexual rriers of those gen. Knowg sexual orientatn is fluenced by gen and n be explaed evolutnary terms may even, for those who hold such views, make homosexualy seem ls a perverse or immoral choice and more jt a se of beg “born gay”.
