WHY ARE THERE GAY MEN?
Hundreds of photographs om the 19th and 20th centuri offer a glimpse at the life of gay men durg a time when their love was illegal almost everywhere. * gay men in nature *
It is important to note that the same-sex soc-sexual behavr observed the study is distct om homosexual behavr bee s motivatn and purpose are social, said Jean-Baptiste Le, who studi primate behavr at the Universy of Lethbridge Canada and was not volved the new rearch. 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. 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.

New rearch shows the gen that make men gay appear to make their mothers and nts more reproductively succsful. * gay men in nature *
But nsirg that the tra disurag the type of sex that leads to procreatn — that is, sex wh women — and would therefore seem to thwart s own chanc of beg geilly passed on to the next generatn, why are there gay men at all? For several years, studi led by Andrea Camper Ciani at the Universy of Padova Italy and others have found that mothers and maternal nts of gay men tend to have signifintly more offsprg than the maternal relativ of straight men.
The rults show strong support for the "balancg selectn hypothis, " which is fast beg the accepted theory of the geic basis of male theory holds that the same geic factors that duce gayns mal also promote fecundy (high reproductive succs) those mal' female maternal relativ. Through this tra-off, the maternal relativ' "gay man gen, " though they aren't exprsed as such, tend to get passed to future generatns spe of their tenncy to make their male herors no one knows which gen, exactly, the might be, at least one of them appears to be loted on the X chromosome, acrdg to geic molg by Camper Ciani and his lleagu. Mal her only one X chromosome — the one om their mother — and if clus the gene that promot gayns mal and fecundy femal, he is likely to be gay while his mom and her female relativ are likely to have lots of kids.
Prevly, the Italian rearchers suggted that the "gay man gene" might simply crease androphilia, or attractn to men, thereby makg the mal who posss the gene homosexual and the femal who posss more promiscuo. The androphilic pattern that we found is about femal who crease their reproductive value to attract the bt mal, " Camper Ciani told Life's Ltle out, the moms and nts of gay men have an advantage over the moms and nts of straight men for several reasons: They are more fertile, displayg fewer gynelogil disorrs or plitns durg pregnancy; they are more extroverted, as well as funnier, happier and more relaxed; and they have fewer fay problems and social anxieti. “As a teenager tryg to unrstand myself and unrstand my sexualy, I looked at the ter for “the gay gene” and obvly me across Xq28, ” said Fah Sathirapongsasuti, a study -thor and senr scientist at 23andMe, which he joked once led him to believe he hered his gayns om his mother.

The rearchers had members of the same-sex muny review the study’s sign and language, and they adm that their termology and fns for gay, lbian and heterosexual do not reflect the full nature of the sexualy ntuum.
“[Our study] unrsr an important role for the environment shapg human sexual behavr and perhaps most importantly there is no sgle gay gene but rather the ntributn of many small geic effects sttered across the genome, ” Neale said.

The studi dite that gay men are, on average, more feme behavur and terts durg childhood pared to heterosexual men, while lbian women are more mascule, on average, the rpects pared to heterosexual women.
It will also be the first study on nral rrelat of sexual orientatn to nsir velopmental factors associated wh sexual orientatn or possible subgroups wh sexual orientatn part of this study (scribed the Supplementary Material), we found a sample of over 700 gay and heterosexual men that mental rotatn performance was related to CGN rather than sexual orientatn per se. Based on this, as well as prev ditns that genr nonnformy may be an important rrelate of dividual differenc gnive performance between and wh the sex, we hypothised that gay men would sre lower on mental rotatns than heterosexual men and that dividuals who report havg been genr nonnformg childhood would also sre lower than those who report havg been genr nformg.
We further hypothised that genr nformg gay men would show patterns of nral activatns siar to those of heterosexual men and genr nonnformg men would show patterns of nral activatns siar to those of heterosexual women. The tts revealed signifint differenc childhood femy/masculy levels between childhood genr nformg heterosexual women and both childhood genr nformg gay men and childhood genr nformg heterosexual men. Furthermore, a signifint difference childhood femy/masculy levels was found between childhood genr nonnformg gay men and both childhood genr nformg gay men and childhood genr nformg heterosexual men (all at p < 0.
