AI Article Synopsis

  • Hamer argues that using the variable "ever versus never had a same-sex partner" oversimplifies the complexity of human sexuality.
  • The authors of the paper agree with Hamer's point.
  • However, they also highlight that their follow-up analyses revealed significant genetic overlap between their main variable and more detailed aspects of sexual behavior, attraction, and identity.

Article Abstract

Hamer argue that the variable "ever versus never had a same-sex partner" does not capture the complexity of human sexuality. We agree and said so in our paper. But Hamer neglect to mention that we also reported follow-up analyses showing substantial overlap of the genetic influences on our main variable and on more nuanced measures of sexual behavior, attraction, and identity.
