Actually that would not make evolutionary sense, that adaptation would select itself out of a population (although some suggested other hypotheses like the 'homosexuals help others more and spread their genes as well because they had straight sex once in a while- hypotheses). So, from a strictly Darwinian viewpoint, homosexuality shouldn't still be around. It is simply is the worst wayway to pass along one's genes, and to complicate the picture further, no "gay genes" have even been identified.

More recent and better hypotheses is that the explanation lies not in DNA - genes itself. Instead, as an embryo develops, sex-related genes are turned on and off in response to fluctuating levels of hormones in the womb, produced by both mother and child.

So take a male embryo - during the right time window there is an influx of progesteron and oestrogenes - and the genes get activated that 'sexualizes' the brain in a female way. The more hormones, the more feminine the males brain and behaviour. That is why homosexuals can range from being very manly (eg footballer :Goober:) to very, very female.

The other way around works as well: female embryo that gets too much testosterone. Here as well you see the female homosexuals range from very manly to just as feminine as you would expect.

Scientist have tested this hypotheses by injecting the wombs of mice, birds and i think even monkeys. Worked everytime :-)

The original research was done at the uni and research group where I was working in Santa Barbara. Coolest ever :-)

So yes, homosexuality is very, very natural and yes the prevalence of it is cross culturally identical no matter what belief systems or religious taboos are in place. Also, no people do not chose this. Now, isn't it very discriminating not to give them the same rights we have?

Ps: funniest forum member ..... Eat that! :Goober:

Oh my.....an essay!! (that I didn't read). What have I done to Stingray :D

Oh honey those are just booblets keep dreaming

Seriously, wouldn't it be awesome if men (still) had tits?! We'd be so much more cuddly if we did. Seriously, it's not fair, you females get all the cool stuff :(

Looks like your sex change operation was a success!

Yes you are. There are only about 4 billion of you on this planet! Coincidentally, never say that your girlfriend/boyfriend. I said it once to my girlfriend and now, she's my ex!

Oh dear, did you kill a romantic tone of your evening or was it in the morning, can understand if she became your ex that way!

It's not our fault we can't multitask :cry:

It's an evolutionary thing, so it's all Stingray's fault! :P

Haha. Amellia, I was only joking of course! :lol:

But if it means so much to you, I'll try it the next time I get a girlfriend and tell you what happens! :lol: (not that looks like happening anytime soon :cry::cry::cry: )

Tom hasn't got much common sense when it comes to females!

What do you mean 'when it comes to females'?! :Goober: (you know I love you, Tom, right? :halo: )
