"Gender" is a "social construct," but somehow there's genes for it in regards to sexual orientation. Shit makes no sense, but this is LGBTQ+ we're referring to.

Personally, if science wanted to go and try to search for the "gay gene"? Whatever. Sure, it could explain some things but it be just a waste of money and effort. When at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. The only thing I can see happening is people trying to genetic test to see if their baby is LGB or not. To me, that's similar to sex testing (note: yes I know preferences) but it shouldn't matter, a healthy baby is a healthy baby.

It's not that simple.

Even the most common functions of the human body, like knee reflex for instance, aren't only passed down by one gene. Why would this be the case with sexual orientation, which is a way more complex thing?

Again, people who obsess over "gay genes" or whatever aren't scientists, but political activists on both sides of this issue who want to use science as a validation tool for their beliefs.

They do not give a shite about genetics.
