I don't doubt that genetics plays a major role in homosexuality. I just think there might be other circumstances that might enforce either a dormant tendency towards homosexuality, or bring it about by itself.

The study was referred to by Sagan in "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors", a very fine read, and he does give the proper referral in the index. I just need to look in the boxes in the garage (I just moved house) and I'll post it.

I've read about the ancient Greeks, and I suppose that just goes to show that genetics is not the only factor - social circumstances, wether conscious (Greek indifference towards homosexuality) or unconscious (overpopulation) might also play a big role.
