Sickle cell anemia is linked to only one gene (Hb), and I don’t really understand how you can compare homosexuality with a blood disease after stating gayness is linked to multiple genes… I might have misunderstood you here though, hehe.

The point of the comparison is that not everything potentially detrimental to procreation gets killed out of the gene pool by evolution. I specifically used a simple comparison involving a single gene for that reason.

As far as my opinion on the whole ordeal, I know for a fact I have been a deviant since earliest memory, so I would lean towards the “You’re born the way you are,” or at LEAST that you’re born pre-disposed to certain activities and interests, and that nurture helps cement that.

However, I also know for a fact that I’ve gotten progressively more deviant over time and gotten interested in things I used to care less about, so I also acknowledge that inclinations change. I would bumume that most exclusively gay men with no hint of attraction to women are born that way, and that most bisexuals are merely open-minded and enjoy experimenting, while not necessarily evolutionarily hardwired into that.
