Scientist calls gay people 'pinnacle of evolution'

FYI, "successful" organisms are the ones who reproduce and thus pass on their superior genes. Thus, homosexuality is a dead end (pardon the pun) unless the individual uses extreme measures such as artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, etc., to bypass natural selection.

Clearly it's not a "dead end." If it were, we wouldn't be having this conversation at all, as homosexuality would have been bred out of the species long, long ago.

Bromhall's supposition that homosexuality is an evolved trait presupposes the truth of the vaunted "gay gene" theory.

The supposition that natural selection would weed it out requires us to assume the same thing.

I think it far more likely that homosexuality is not a primary trait on which natural selection would work, but instead no more than perhaps a secondary or tertiary trait, probably combined with non-genetic factors. For example, it might have something to do with brain chemistry, coupled with some sort of "nurture" factor.

This explains why homosexuality should have been around for so long, and probably in roughly constant numbers.

Bump and ping. Scripter will be off line occasionally between now and the middle of September. I've agreed to help him out by running his homosexual agenda ping list.

Or an even more likely answer (and one supportable by statistical data) is that Same-sex Attraction Disorder (SAD) is a mental disease brought on by trauma or environmental deficiencies. Primarily being sexually molested, having a porr or non-existent relationship with one's fatehr (opr other trusted male role model) or being relentlessly teased by ones peers during the formative years.

Almost all 'homosexuals' fall into one of these categories and most fall into more than one.

The presence of a large and growing number of recovered SADs proves that the disease is not genetic
