Sexual orientation is not something one does, it is something one is. The sex of those you actually fuck has no more bearing on your sexuality than the music you listen to has on the color of your skin.

For hundreds of years homosexual men have been avoiding persecution by pretending to be heterosexual. Being gay does not automatically make our sperm infertile; if we put our cocks inside a vagina a baby will pop out of it nine months later.

It is within the realm of possibility that a group of homosexual men would keep women around for reproduction and domestic work while having sex mostly with each other unless they require offspring.


I would be surprised however if these men in the article were more inclined to homosexuality than men anywhere else. That is, a small minority of them would be exclusively homosexual while the majority would be somewhere between exclusively heterosexual and many degrees of bisexuality.

As I wrote above, it is much more likely that those that are indeed attracted to women sexually would deny it due to social pressure. I find this a very funny example of how certain belief systems allow minorities to control the majority instead of the alternative which is much more common.
