Well I can make another comparison, but the comparions seem to distract from the discussion. Moving on...

Of course, this would beg the question as to why China and India don't have rather large homosexual movements since they are the two most overpopulated regions of the world. The notion that there is a "Gay gene" in humans is absurd as, by the basic principles biology/evolution, it would either have to be a recessive trait or have nothing to do with genes at all.

It may not be a recessive trait. It may be that homosexuals are less likely to reproduce than heterosexuals, combined with the 7% of the population thing. A gene that creates the tendancy for homosexulaity might be the same as a gene that makes someone more or less likely to be proned to addiction or proned to likeing big or small boobs...it's a tendency, but it isn't always the rule. I have addiction going back on both sides of my family for generations. I'm not addicted to anything. My brother isn't addicted to anyhing. We could have been, but it's dependant on so many environmental and other genetic factors. I imagine that homosexulaity is dependantfirst on the "gay gene", then other genes, then the environment. Isn't it possible that the environment is what activates homosexulaity, just like the environment can tweak and change heterosexuality?
For example: what if as populations rise, the tendency towards equality rises as the elite and rare smartest people come to liberal power. As equality rises, latent homosexuals that normally just try to live life as heterosexuals are free to live life as a homosexual. I don't know how likely it is, but it does explain the homosexual tendency as a gene.

More like Abrahamic belief, but it's the idea that homosexuality is wrong that comes from that line of morality. Where does that morality come from? Abrahamic religons: Judism, Christianity, and Islam. That morality is a lot older than genetics.
