Now lets suppose that we have a person who has the Hh combination. The dominant H gene would cancel out the recessive h gene, making the person heterosexual. Now lets suppose that the Hh individual mates with a person who also has the Hh combination. We are left with four possibilities: HH (heterosexual) two Hhs (heterosexuals who carry the h gene but are not gay because the gene is canceled by the H.), and the hh individual, who has two reccessive genes for homosexuality and thus is homosexual.
Hh+Hh=HH, Hh, Hh, or hh.


My knowledge of genetics is a bit rusty (I haven't had a biology class in four years) but even if it was a recessive gene it would eventualy be wiped out or at least decrease in instance. My point was that it isn't a genetic thing.
