Biological & Cultural Evolution of Homosexuals (Genetic vs Environment). Information on Gay and Lesbian Sex, Relationships, Marriage, Rights, Laws, Homophobia, Statistics, Pride Festivals & Mardi Gras, Queer Theory, Homosexual Youth (Teens), Animal Behaviour

Males and females do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. Not all things are black nor all things white. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects. The sooner we learn this concerning human sexual behavior the sooner we shall reach a sound understanding of the realities of sex. (Alfred Kinsey, Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male, 1948)

Evolution of Knowledge, Sex and Philosophy

This website is an exploration of human evolution but unlike most studies on the evolutionary origins of man, it does not take genetics or genes as its basic idea but epistemology, the theory of knowledge.
Man possesses much more social knowledge than does any other species and the coevolution between our genetic and social natures has had a great impact upon humankind. This enables an understanding of aspects of human sexuality that have previously been mysterious, such as homosexuality and other sexual deviations.

Alfred Kinsey on Male Homosexuality

'The data indicates that at least 37% of the male population has some homosexual experience between the beginning of adolescence and old age. Among the males who remain unmarried until the age of 35, almost 50 % have had a homosexual experience.
It is true that there are persons in the population whose histories are exclusively heterosexual and exclusively homosexual. But the record shows that there is a considerable portion of the population whose members have combined both homosexual and heterosexual experience.'

Pedophilia, Sexual Orientation and Birth Order

From the website: 'This study examined the birth order in a sample of pedophiles. The results indicated that homosexual or bisexual pedophiles had a later birth order than heterosexual pedophiles. The results extend previous findings that homosexual men, regardless of sample composition, have a later birth order than comparable groups of heterosexual men. The results also challenge some existing theories on the nature and origins of pedophilia.'

Homophobia & Pedophilia

From the website: 'Gay people have often been portrayed as a threat to children. In recent years, antigay activists have routinely asserted that gay people are child molesters. The empirical research does not show that gay or bisexual men are any more likely than heterosexual men to molest children. This is not to argue that homosexual and bisexual men never molest children. But there is no scientific basis for asserting that they are more likely than heterosexual men to do so. Many child molesters cannot be characterized as having an adult sexual orientation at all; they are fixated on children.'

Analyse any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established; the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable. ... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)
