A very interesting lecture about being gay and evolution

[baymartin]

:hmmm: Found this : "Dr. James O’Keefe recently delivered a fascinating TED talk at TEDxTallaght in Dublin, which explored
                                     homosexuality and how it’s about survival – not sex."

_To quote a paragraph from your link

“Viewed in the light of evolution, homosexuality seems to be a real self-defeating non-productive strategy,” O’Keefe told the audience. “Gays have 80 percent fewer kids than heterosexuals. This is a trait that ought to go extinct in a few generations, yet down through recorded history in every culture and many animal species as well, homosexuality has been a small but distinct subgroup. If this were a genetic error, natural selection should have long ago culled this from the gene pool.”_
Logical view
