    Reference to this topic: University of Oxford press, Human Reproduction, William H James (UC London, department of genetics)Volume 19, issue 6, Page 1250 to 1256. And this study was done between 1980 to 1996 and this Scientific journal was written in 2004

      But gays still have long been under-represented in most aspects of public life, from TV and movies, to political office, to corporate CEOs, even relative to their percent of the population.
      In my lifetime, when I was young, there was practically NO mention in media of gays, and the few mentions were extremely negative, usually trying to make a villain character look more "creepy". This is not ancient history.
