Perhaps. Bit it will hihligjt once and for all humans are not just evolving DNA but the twin streams of data: DNA and memes. For millenia, anti-gay memes kept gays breeding in families, preserving whatever, if it's there, of DNA gay-related. Now that meme pressure is gone. It will take centuries if not more to see if gayness evolves away now. It's all pointless really, as humans will control their DNA by computer analysis, probably within the lifespan of some currently alive.
What if gayness is like sickle cell anemia, though? 1 copy gives you an immunity to malaria, 2 copies gives you a problem.
Maybe the "gay gene" if you get 1 copy you're a smooth lady killer (thus you CAN breed) and with 2 copies you like to sit on pole instead?
Now I realize that current research suggests that homosexuality is EPI-genetic, but I'm just throwing that out there.
