Since there are zero genetic markers showing homosexuality is innate they are 1. Lying, 2. Wrong, 3. Misleading and last simply showing that even if remotely true that it simply means there was perversion 5000 years ago...whats new with that?

I think your post is spot on. I emailed the article to an archaeologist friend of mine, here's what he had to say:


... stripped of innuendo and all that jazz, likely a reasonable enough inference from the data presented...

 Sigh...

All cultures in all times have "....had them ever with us."  Drawing on my long ago "familiarity" with "our" own Great Plains Indian Cultures of recent past... I recall that even among these fierce warrior societies with their bigtime macho front... there was accomodation for those of "...another persuasion...".  I think the Sioux called them "Berdash" (maybe "Berdache" (?)  via the French Trappers among them - speaking of which, must have been a dubioius foreign influence to begin with!  Just kidding -- old "Mountainman lore"... etc.)  ... something like that.  They wore women's clothing and tidied up around the tipi every day and set a nice table when the "other half" checked in after a hard day's work and all...

(The Plains tribes recognized a lot of "aberrant" societies or sub-groups: one of most intriguing (to me) were the "Contraries" (as I think they were called...).  They did evrything in reverse: they habitually walked backwards, rode backwards, wore their clothing on backwards, sat when others stood, etc etc. - all (or as many as they could devise) of normal human behaviors were performed or done in reverse by them)....
