And how is the gene passed along since gays can't reproduce? It takes a heterosexual act to produce ALL people. So if a gay reproduces is he bisexual?

Many gays have their own children. I know several and they're all screwed up worse than Bill Clinton. But most, if not all are decidedly NOT gay.

strange how that works, Gay children come overwhelmingly fron non-gay parents, and gays who reproduce, have overwhelmingly non-gay children.

genetic huh?

"And how is the gene passed along since gays can't reproduce?"

Not all genetically-determined characteristics are the product of one gene with a binary solution set. There are many such that are the product of multiple genes, and where the genes themselves can be in more than two states. To oversimplify, one could posit a genetic set up where there are two genes contributing; each parent might be 40% influenced towards being gay, but function as heterosexuals. Their child might then get the characteristics of both and be 80% influenced towards being gay.

There is no proof that this kind of thing exists with regards to sexual orientation. But there are mechanisms that would allow such a thing to be dormant in one or both parents, only to come up as dominant in their offspring.

(mock scolding) Silly boy. That's too easy!

The "genes" are passed along by way of introducing homosexuality and how "normal" it is to children too young to be able to know anything about sex. This is done primarily by the introduction of books on the reading lists of these children, like "It's Perfectly (Ab)Normal" and "Heather Has Two Mommies."
