Well, this is a pretty inflammatory thing to say. However, "gayness" is, by definition, not an advantageous adaptation. Without intervention like artificial insemination, or without an instance of heterosexual behavior, homosexuality ensures that your genes will not be passed on. That much is true and indisputable. But I don't think that it's fair to say that a reproductive disadvantage is the same thing as a mental illness. Obviously, homosexuals can still function in society without any meaningful loss of productivity. To classify it as a mental illness, you'd need to prove that gay people can't function in a manner that you'd see from other mentally ill people.According to a study conducted by researchers at Brock University, Canada, and published in the journal PNAS on Monday, Y-linked protein gets into the bloodstream of some women when they are pregnant with a boy. As women do not have the Y chromosome, their bodies create antibodies. These get stored in the women’s bodies and when they become pregnant with another boy, the antibodies cross the placenta and enter the fetus’ brain.
"That may alter the functions in the brain, changing the direction of how the male fetus may later develop their sense of attraction," said Anthony Bogaert,
So in other words, it's a disorder. Homosexuality is a birth defect or mental illness. We're not meant to be gay. Can't wait to see what they find out about Transgender and what causes it.
Edit: The irony is that this discussion is occurring over a computer. Computers were essentially invented by an Englishman named Alan Turing. Turing's work breaking the German Enigma machine in WWII was instrumental in defeating the Axis Powers, and all advances in computer science can be traced back to his original work. He is still taught in colleges today in things like Turing's Primitives. By the way, he was gay.
