But homosexuality still reduces the chances of a homosexual gene being passed to the next generation. You can go on and on about recessives, but the bottom line is that homosexuality is not a trait that enhances the possibility of the gene being passed to the next generation. You would see a slow, steady decline and eventually the complete loss of the gene. It's simple fact - any genetic disposition that discourages procreation cannot be genetically viable over the long term. It may persist over the short term, but it will eventually fade out of the gene pool. It's genetic attrition.
I do believe that there are hormonal influences in the womb that effect the possibility of a person being homosexual and environmental factors play huge role in it. But a genetic predisposition simply makes no sense.
