If there were a “gay gene”, shouldn’t it have died out by now?

As an outlier aberration, like pedophilia, the numbers are so small as to be statistically insignificant and thus just part of genetic drift.

The way I see it, that gene occasionally expresses itself through a "common" mutation that simply means that such a mutation is a dead end since it cannot procreate, in most cases. It could be by design, or perhaps by chance, no way to tell as far as I'm concerned.
