But let's get to the real heart of the matter, shall we? I mean, who cares whether it's the direct action of a gene, or the indirect result of dozens genes interacting with who knows what in the environment? Anyone with half a brain will surely agree that (1) sexual orientation is largely a product of biology (2) that a small, but significant, fraction of kids will turn out to be homosexual. So, given that, what do you, Thorguy, propose should be taught in school about it?


First, you play the wise, cool, calm and collected scientist well.  Unfortunately, I am having the most enjoyable time on this site.

1. What is sexual orientation in evolutionary matters?  

2. Why would evolution produce a "homosexual" orientation in humans?

3. Why would we teach a behavior as "normal" if statistics show a high correlation (over-representation) between the behavior (homosexuality) and AIDS, STDs, drug abuse and domestic violence?

These are very simple and straighforward questions.  I assume you will impart upon me your wisdom that coincides with your answers?
