for all those who really wanted to know why gays are born and not a choice of life

#####

As far as I know, male homosexuality in Drosophila and Homo sapiens is hypothesised to be controlled by 2 totally different genes. While male homosexuality in Drosophila is indeed discovered to be influenced by the FRU gene, human male homosexuality is more correctly linked to the HMS1 gene in the Xq28 locus. This makes a lot of sense - since gays practically do not reproduce, why is there still a stable number of gays in the society IF it's really genetic?

One thing we ALL have to note is that whatever phenotypic outcome, there must be a genetic and environmental influence. As all who have touched the least bit on genetics should know, phenotypic variance = genetic variance + environmental variance. Hence, a portion of the "no inheritance" claim is eliminated by the environmental portion.

As for the genetic portion, the gay gene is identified on Xq28 - locus number 28 on the long arm of X chromosome. Sex-linked, and inherited from the mother. Since this HMS1 only takes effects on males, it has no effects on the mother. The mother is still straight but the son is gay.

Scientists studying the HMS1 allele also proposed that male homosexuality is actually part of nature's means to increase birth rate. HMS1 does not produce a protein signalling for male-male attraction but stimulates male attraction. If it's expressed in a female, she'll be more fertile, more attracted to males and hence, totally straight. When expressed in males, it prompts attraction to males instead of females, hence male homosexuality. As such, the HMS1 gene actually is NOT the same as the FRU gene which is specific to homosexuality. HMS1 is meant for increased female HETEROSEXUALITY which, in heritance to a male offspring, becomes a primer to male homosexuality.
