THE END OF GAYS: GAY MARRIAGE AND THE DECLE OF THE HOMOSEXUAL POPULATN

The argument is this: gay sex alone n’t produce children, and for tras to evolve, they have to be passed onto children, who get some form of petive advantage om them.

IT IS NOW 50 YEARS SCE GAY PEOPLE WERE “CURED"

In a paper published yterday by myself and De Universy profsor Brian Hare, we propose human sexualy (cludg homosexualy) evolved as an oute of the evolutn of creased sociabily humans. In our clost primate relative, the bonobo, straight and gay sex have val rol play, social transactns, barter of food, same-sex social bondg and bondg between matg pairs. Gay sex and attractn may have evolved bee dividuals wh a gree of same-sex attractn benefed om greater social mobily, tegratn and stronger same-sex social bonds.

Our hypothis predicts that bisexualy and people who intify as “mostly straight” should be more mon than people who intify as exclively gay, and this is the se. Our hypothis for the evolutn of homosexualy would predict this kd of variatn human sexualy, and n help expla why is generally stable across cultur. It is admtedly odd to thk that a progrsive, humanarian shift attus toward gays and lbians might lead, ironilly, to a noticeable cle the homosexual populatn.

Yet this is precisely what I predict will happen over the very long urse of natural selectn should the societal-level normalizatn of adult homosexual relatnships, such as is happeng currently wh the triumphant legalizatn of gay marriage my new home state of New York, ntu happily on s way. ) Not so very long ago, the ncept of “gay marriage” was so far om beg a legal possibily s leral sense that most listeners would have probably terpreted this phrase to mean a closeted gay man married to a woman, or a lbian to a man. In one extensive study 1978, for example, rearchers Alan Bell and Mart Weberg, factorg ethnic differenc, found that 35 percent of gay whe mal, and 13 percent of gay black mal, reported havg been married to a woman.

And Bell and Weberg’s figur almost certaly unrreport the actual equency of such relatnships, too, sce their data e om surveys of sexual orientatn llected durg an unapologetilly homophobic era.

In other words, the statistics only take to acunt those dividuals prevly or currently a mixed-orientatn marriage willg to acknowledge their primary homosexual leangs.
