HOMOSEXUALY AS POPULATN CONTROL? WHY GAYS & LBIANS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE BALANCE OF NATURE.

Now gay men and lbians are workg to make same-sex marriage legally regnized across the Uned Stat and other mocratic natns. And wh poll after poll now showg that homosoexualy is beg creasgly accepted by mastream populatns mocratic natns, all gay men and lbians need to fully enhance and realize our self imag is a world view that acunts for our reason for beg.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATN IS GAY [UPDATED MAY 2023]

A reason that not only is btowed on by Nature, but which mak beg homosexual sential to the balance of Nature. Homosexualy as a terrent to overpopulatn is a hypothis proposed by scientific rearchers applible not jt to homo sapiens, but throughout the animal world.

Geicists have gone so far as to propose the existence of a gay gene that all humans and animals nta wh them and which is turned on or off like a swch pendg on the circumstanc of the the gay gene has elud disvery spe two s of enthiastic anticipatn. It was July 1993 that the journal Science published a study by rearcher Dean Hamer suggtg that there might be a gene for homosexualy.

AMERINS STILL GREATLY OVERTIMATE U.S. GAY POPULATN

Natnal Public Rad and Newsweek jumped on the prospect, promptg The Wall Street Journal to announce misleadgly, "Rearch Pots Toward a Gay Variatn. "A later, April 2003, the Internatnal Human Genome Consortium announced had pleted the Human Genome Project which intified between 20, 000 and 25, 000 gen -- but whout fdg any evince of a gay gene.

Although the news disappoted some the LGBT muny who sought blogil affirmatn, brought relief to others who had feared a geic marker such as a gay gene would give rise to a ll for the geic engeerg, or "fixg, " of fact, we don't require the disvery of a gay gene to show that homosexualy is ubiquo nature, which uld mean serv some purpose to the speci.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENR?

Repeated field observatns have tablished that among numero animal speci, mal and femal alike form homosexual bonds.

It has only been ltle over four s sce homosexualy began to be studied by social and natural scientists a climate of creasg openns -- an openns that is not yet aquately shared by the public and private agenci fundg rearch. As we all know wh regard to stem cell rearch and efforts to bat HIV, the social stigma and relig ndng attached to certa subjects of study still slow scientific for the disvery of a gay gene, this year a group of Korean geicists led by Chankyu Park announced the June 2010 issue of BMC Geics that the sexual preferenc of female mice had been altered by removg a sgle gene.

Yet even if the FucM gene leads to a te geic marker of homosexualy, will still require a great leap our unrstandg of how such a gene works to claim is directly rponsive to the stimul of overpopulatn. For even whout a al lk tablished between homosexualy and populatn management, the obv rctn populatn growth attributable to homosexualy by self dubably works to prerve the urse populatn ntrol also provis gays and lbians, and particular gay and lbian youth, the purpose life we seek. But the religns born of past lennia that n't expand to enpass ntemporary knowledge about the world don't provi the kd of self-purpose that progrsive md gays and lbians require.

Specifilly the science and nature of populatn ntrol, which mak homosexualy sential to the balance of life. Wh the natural world on the brk of mise largely bee of overpopulatn, unrtraed homosexualy, as one of a variety of ethil and mocratic measur available to today, offers perhaps the most natural optn to be enjoed.

So why shouldn't homosexualy be seen as providg a viable optn to overpopulatn--to the pot that the world's natns e to enurage s practice and teem s benefs?

It is, after all, the most harmon way to ntrol the populatn--nsirg all that's required is that we love and support our gay sons, dghters, brothers, sisters, parents, iends, lovers, and selv.

The variants are more clive of all dividuals who are non-heterosexual and non-cisgenr stead of exclively applyg to people who are lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr.

For example, one set of qutns may seek self-reported data on same-sex sexual experienc, while another set may seek data surroundg personal intifitn as lbian, gay, or bisexual. Other stat wh LGBTQ+ protectns, such as Massachetts and Colorado, also have higher timated populatns of gay, lbian, bisexual, and otherwise non-heterosexual dividuals. Back 1948 sex rearcher Aled Ksey famoly suggted that 10 percent of the mal he'd studied were, quote, "more or ls exclively homosexual, " unquote.
