# I've never believed that behaviours could be attributed to genes.
Only tendencies. And you could have a positive selection pressure for tendencies as they would come in handy for other reasons.

So, yes, there could be a range of gay alleles (not exactly genes) that are preserved in a population despite the obvious problem of passing on a tendency not to breed.

# Down's syndrome isn't passed on genetically, as far as I understand.
It's a genetic mutation, where the parents possibly normal genes aren't passed on properly.

# They reckon it is.
It just needs "activating" if you've got it.

# Apparently having some non-heterosexual males
In a gender imbalanced tribe is good for the whole of the tribe. Less fighting over scarce wimmins, more focus on the tribe.

China, take heed.

Besides, even homosexuals can have children. Albeit not with their preferred partner.

# My Geography teacher always used to thank homosexuals for helping to keep the world's population down.
He was a bit strange.
