Important new evidence on a plausible mechanism for the evolution of "gay genes" has emerged from the work of Camperio-Ciani.[23] They found in two large, independent studies that the female relatives of homosexual men tended to have significantly more offspring than those of the heterosexual men. Female relatives of the homosexual men on their mother's side tended to have more offspring than those on the father's side. This indicates that females carrying a putative "gay genes" complex are more fecund than women lacking this complex of genes, and thereby can compensate for any decreased fertility of the males carrying the genes. This is a well known phenomenon in evolution known as "sexual antagonism,"[and has been widely documented for many traits that are advantageous in one sex but not in the other. This provides solid experimental evidence of how "gay genes" could not only survive but thrive over the course of evolution.
Just a point. There is nothing wrong with a homosexual reproductive system. They have been producing offspring for centuries - - with the opposite gender. But - how would you feel if you had to have sex with same gender to fit into society?
Heteros choosing not to reproduce - - is the same as Homosexuals - - no longer living a lie. Both can reproduce if they choose.
I think this may help explain the evolutionary aspect of homosexuality...

...there were two world leaders.
The first one experimented with drugs while he was in college, he had a mistress, he loved a good cigar and fine brandy, and he was famous for getting drunk at parties, even while he was in office.
The second one was a vegetarian and a nonsmoker; he only drank beer in moderation, and he was faithful to his girlfriend.
The United States Congress bestowed the first one with the greatest honor it had at its disposal, while we all revile the second one to this day. The first one was Winston Churchill, and the second one was Adolf Hitler. godswordexplored.com...

So, according to your belief system, someone has to believe your views, or they're wrong?
Has nothing to do with my belief system or view. Still believing that gay is a choice IS archaic.

Spycraft - - as in the game?
Is homosexuality really a part of that game? If it is - - they should have accurate scientific data.
I find it pathetic using this minority group - - with current fights for their rights going on - - as entertainment in an espionage game.
What did you expect using Homosexual in your thread title?

Foreign enemies use what ever "handles" they can find to subvert key people. Homosexuality is a biggie, adultry, drug use and gambling are other traditional "handles"
This is one of the reasons secret clearance checks of people in sensitive positions are so through. You want to uncover the weakness BEFORE the enemy does.
" the game" is a term used within the security field and does not refer to people playing games like "go fish" but games of "Chess" with real live pawns - like us and our nations.

You have been one of the few people keeping up with the discussion entirely.
Against all odds, and multiple roadblocks, she moves ahead in her quest for truth and exposure of Obama’s ineligibility. Orly received a page of hard to read information instead of a legible numident from her FOIA request regarding Thomas Louis Wood whose social security number is one less than Obama’s.
Thomas died at age 19 and the information was available to the public, yet it has taken over a year for the Social Security Administration (SSA) to release the information. Why did they stonewall her request? Orly had to file a lawsuit to have the information released. Finally, the original application arrived along with a letter from the SSA.... wtpotus.wordpress.com...
Well, we're going to have to agree to disagree, you have yet to have provided any evidence.
Nothing more than mere speculation and studies.
The thing about studies is every Government, every corporation, and organization pays for them, and so do their competitors, throwing out there so many different paid for opinions, just to get statistics to back up their claims as to as to seek funding.
Wikipedia alone does not prove or disprove anything.
And on top of that I will state it again, this thread is about epsionage, and spying.
With homosexuality being a subplot as leverage for someone betraying their country.
And I do believe both of you are deliberately doing this just to drive the thread off topic.
F.O.I.A. itself is a stonewalling process to guage access to information....
To get the study published it has to go through a rigorous peer-review process, so it’s not like you can just buy evidence.

Plain Prose: It’s Seldom Seen in Journals
Written by Dick Pothier
If you want to publish an article in some scientific or medical journal, here is some unusual advice from Scott Armstrong, a professor of marketing at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School: Choose an unimportant topic. Agree with existing beliefs. Use convoluted methods. Withhold some of your data. And write the whole thing in stilted, obtuse prose....
“Although these rules clearly run counter to the goal of contributing to scientific knowledge — the professed goal of academic journals — they do increase a paper’s chance of being published,” Armstrong said...
It is not by accident that intelligent and successful scientists produce such work.” Armstrong surveyed dozens of recent studies on how articles in such journals get published, and the result, he said, “was rather depressing, if our job is to get that research information out and have the readers benefit from it.”
In one study, Armstrong said, academics reading articles in scientific journals rated the authors’ competence higher when the writing was less intelligible than when it was clear.
In another study, Armstrong said, research papers were mailed to a sampling of dozens of researchers. Half the scientists received a paper that described an experiment confirming existing beliefs; the other half received a paper describing an identical experiment but with a different conclusion that challenged the consensus.
Although the methods used in the two sets of papers were identical, the scientists surveyed generally approved of the procedures used in the papers that confirmed existing beliefs and generally disapproved of the same methods when they were used to contradict what most scientists believed, Armstrong said.

YES!!!
Just TRY to get information out of a government agency.
I asked for some information I needed so I could abide by the law when I opened my business 20 years ago. I am STILL waiting.....
We are expected to abide by all the laws and regs. Ignorance is not an excuse for us. However trying to pry the information out of government agencies or lawyers or even the internet is next to impossible!
