The original claim had been made by Dean Hamer from a study extreme homosexuals whose own brothers also suffered the condition; but the new study of 52 pairs of homosexual brothers by George Rice confirms suggestions that genetic factors play only a modest role (cf. King & McDonald, 1992, Brit. J. Psychiat.; Brand, 1993, Person. & Indiv. Diffs). After a century of empirical psychology by behaviourist academics too spineless to acknowledge the g factor and racial differences, or to contradict feminism, the causes of human variations in sexual tastes all remain officially obscure. However, in line with proto-Freudian theorizing about the Oedipal phase of development (C. R. Badcock, 1994, PsychoDarwinism, HarperCollins), a half of adult male homosexuals are somewhat feminized by age five and had unusual relationships with their fathers, and homosexuality is more common in later-born siblings (Blanchard, 1997, Ann. Rev. Sex Research). Notoriously, characteristics such as left-handedness and homosexuality are less common in people of African descent; but today’s tenured scholars avoid such topics. _____________________________ Chris Brand Edinburgh.
