Would this be a duplicate of this?

@MattDMo Deleted by the owner

This was what was written:

@WYSIWYG not really dupes: one is about whether or not there is a heritable component to homosexuality, the other is about whether selection would act against such a heritable component to homosexuality

could we get this "answer" deleted: biology.stackexchange.com/questions/35799/…

Can we also delete this one:

That belongs on meta.

agreed

If I post answer on the general potential for genetic variance in homosexuality to persist would that be enough for the question? I don't know if any studies have demonstrated genetic variance in homosexuality but I'm sure there will be some around that have tried which I can add to it

(see discussion here for outline of how genetic/heritable variance for homosexuality may persist chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/38953/…)

@rg255 true. BTW the twin study paper that you mention in the other post, may have some info about this question.

@terdon Done

@rg255 Sounds good. I think giving a theoretical example might be enough anyway. I can imagine a recessive gene that could result in homosexuality when homozygous. If we take a classic altruist model, we could posit that those who are homozygous don't reproduce but spend more time protecting the young of their heterozygous relatives who then are more likely to survive and pass on the gene.

@WYSIWYG 'is this legit or what' Oh man, I do love that

ok - please vote to delete the genetic effect for homosexuality answer, I've tried explaining but the OP refuses to listen

I've given it enough effort for today

@rg255 can you cast a delete vote?

I mean, through the review process.
