My question is, if it is genetic, what was the advantage conferred on those who possessed this trait? Why did it evolve? Homosexuality appears to be passed by siblings (having a gay uncle or aunt predisposes gayness) because the siblings of opposite sex are often perceived as hypermasculine or hyperfeminine. Evolution of a trait like this (2%??) would require some clear benefit when considered against the downside.
