Having gay people in a group probably increases the survival chances of the whole population. They can help with childcare and also do things that parents are too busy to do. So by helping the group survive and thrive, they improve the chances of people like them being born. <br /><br />That's where the "evolutionary psychologists" always get it wrong. You don't have to pass down your specific genes. If you help someone with similar genes reproduce, you get the same evolutionary effect. <br /><br />Many, many traits (like noncompetitiveness) that would have been long gone under the theories of these "evolutionists" are obviously thriving. Life is not each against all - it's communities developing or failing.David4Peacehttp://www.art-of-getting-well.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135590.post-25030492060048386062012-01-21T12:09:09.973-05:002012-01-21T12:09:09.973-05:00This article presents an interesting viewpoint on ...This article presents an interesting viewpoint on the possible survival of a homosexual gene which is less likely to be reproduced. Unfortunately, homosexual couples taking care of heterosexual children will not propagate such a gene. If the author was implying that one of the homosexual pair would have been the parent of the children, that seems unlikely then and much less likely since rise of the family unit. <br /><br />Tony SchiavoTony Schiavonoreply@blogger.com
