Speaking even more strictly, the discovery of genes associated with male
homosexuality means that it is not a genetic glitch that prevents
reproduction. The glitch that prevents reproduction seems to be a modern
memetic one, which encourages gays to "come out of the closet" instead of
trying to "act normally" by having girlfriends, marrying, etc.
