Homosexuality: it's genetic expression, not genetics, that determines homosexuality

RE: Homosexuality: it's genetic expression, not genetics, that determines homosexuality
This is an interesting bit:

Quote:And importantly — in order to satisfy the rules of Darwinian selection — the researchers noted through their mathematical modeling that these epigenetic characteristics can easily proliferate in the population because they increase the fitness of the parent; these epi-marks normally protect parents from natural variation in sex hormone levels during fetal development. They also only rarely escape erasure and reduce the fitness of offspring.

So much for the oft-trotted-out canard that homosexuality is a problem for evolution.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
