簡介 | In their Research Article “Large-scale GWAS reveals insights into the genetic architecture of same-sex sexual behavior”, A. Ganna et al. found that prevalence of same-sex experience in the UK Biobank population increased four-fold across study participants’ birth years, and prevalence in the younger, self-selecting 23andMe consumer population was 6 times that of UK Biobank. The authors treat single nucleotide polymorphisms identified in these populations as ahistorical components of the “architecture of same-sex sexual behavior.” We question the generalizability of their findings. Political context and stigmatization of homosexuality affects whether people engage in and/or report same-sex behavior. Historical conditions such as decriminalization of homosexuality in 1967 and legalization of marriage equality in 2013 and 2014 instigated substantial shifts in reporting of same-sex orientations. |
