Not necessarily, as long as it's recessive. Not an expert either here though.

- abcc8 6y agoIf recessive, you'd expect the wild type and 'gay' alleles to be in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. However, this obviously isn't the case.

I've pointed out on other HN threads that homosexuality has much lower concordance in identical twins (around 40%) than almost any other trait, making it an especially unlikely candidate for direct genetic causes.
