Homosexuality

Homosexuality was long thought to be a psychiatric disorder, the result of overbearing mothers and distant fathers. We now know better. Homosexuality, which is common in the animal kingdom, is the product of genetic factors and prenatal conditions. Still, it presents a fascinating darwinian mystery. Since gays don't reproduce—at least, not nearly at the rate heterosexuals do—why has natural selection not bred homosexuality out of the population?
