After years and years of failure trying to find the "gay" gene, it becomes obvious to anyone that even if such a gene existed it would eventually recede to the level of a random mutation after several generations. The microbial theory states that homosexuality is an infectious disease. This is a great article and I recommend everyone to read it:

The question arises as to whether natural selection would sustain a homosexual trait in the gene pool for any length of time. The best estimates of the fitness cost of homosexuality hover around 80 percent: in other words, gay men (in modern times, at least) have only 20 percent as many offspring as heterosexuals have. Simple math shows how quickly an evolutionarily disadvantageous trait like this should dwindle,

Ewald and Cochran contend that the severe "fitness hit" of homosexuality is a red flag that should not be ignored, and that an infectious process should at least be explored.
