<span>If the evolutionary survival of homosexuality is due to antagonistic pleiotropy then there has to exist a genetic basis for homosexuality.

In this case, homosexuality would be the trait that is detrimental to the organisms survival and there would need to exist another beneficial trait that is controlled by the same gene.</span>
