Groundbreaking new study suggests bisexuals are helping to keep gay people from going extinct
Subscribe to our daily newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.Now, a new study has attempted to throw some light on the matter.
It suggests it’s related to bisexuality. A new paper published this week in Science Advances, claims that genetic factors linked to bisexuality have traditionally been linked to men who have a greater appetite for risk and have more children.The research drew upon the UK Biobank, which holds 450,000 genetic samples linked to accompanying behavioral surveys.
In short, it has the genetic codes for a large number of gay and bisexual men and women.Previous research points to a link between genetics and risk-taking behavior in men.
This new study goes further, saying there’s a link between risk-taking, bisexual behavior, and an increase in offspring.How this might influence people who are exclusively gay is unclear.
