CB: As my brother pointed out to me a few years ago, the standard recessive gene process might explain a genetic basis for homosexuality.
Also, historically there may have been circumstances when population limitation was adaptive ( the Darwinian model turns into its opposite sort of), and homosexuality would be adaptive as a natural contraceptive, maybe ?
