Chill, Christianists
Saletan looks at the new study on the genetics of homosexuality I cited here:
You don't need to
worry that gay teachers or television characters will "convert" hordes
of boys. Sexually antagonistic selection is self-limiting and
impervious to postnatal cultural factors. The authors' computations
show no scenario in which male homosexuality spreads throughout a
population.
And the Vatican - surprise! - is just smearing a difference as a disorder:
The
study's press release concludes that "homosexuality should not be
viewed as a detrimental trait (due to the reduced male fecundity it
entails), but, rather, should be considered within the wider
evolutionary framework of a characteristic with gender-specific
benefits."
