LGBT is still a popular term ed to discs genr and sexual mori, but all GSRM are wele beyond lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr people who nsent to participate a safe space. My last post, The Gay Bra, really got some of you talkg. The central this of the vio was that even though scientists have yet to intify the "gay gene, " the vast nsens the scientific muny is that homosexualy has a strong geic basis, based on multiple studi that pot to herabily of LGBT intifitn and behavr.

Many scientists believe that there is not jt one gay gene, but fact a multu of geic markers that are eher swched on or off by a plex dance of epigeic and environmental factors. Eher way, nnot be nied that beg gay is rooted one's the end of the post, I asked what all of this means om an evolutnary perspective. Chosenfew79 left a ment that summariz the qutns that were raised by many of you:If we look at this qutn om the perspective of morn humans, appears to be somewhat short-sighted, sce we all know that gay men and lbian women n produce offsprg jt like heterosexual men and women n.

In addn, om a morn perspective, we know that homosexualy is not a behavr per se, is an inty, a pot that was raised, sensively and betifully, by many menters throughout this om the perspective of simple scientific cursy, I thk that chosenfew79 rais an extremely valid query. But, om a historil perspective, is an tertg exercise to look at how geic ntributns of homosexualy may have been prerved and passed down by our knows evolutn better than Dr. Richard Dawks, and his take on the evolutn of the "gay gene" is fascatg, elegant, and que clever.
