We're still here...

I've blogged about genetic studies about homosexuality before, thanks to Olive Skene Johnson and her fantastic book. Anyway, Slate has an interesting article about the reason homosexuality hasn't evolved itself out. Because when you think about, if roughly 10 percent of the population is queer now, we should be dwindling in numbers since The Beginning Of Time, right? Evolution has shown that natural selection's main goal is to procreate. And procreate. (And, some of those Procreators take that a little too much to heart. *CoughDuggarsCough*)

The article's focus is on duders, but they site a female study that relies on nongenetic factors, but I warn, unless you're super interested in dry medically defining text, you'd be better suited for Curve magazine.
