fake : anon is helping someone else
gay : anon is taking on a hypothetically suggested role in evolutionary biology that gay people used to fulfil in the survival of a tribe by assisting in childcare as an adult that has no children helping his family's offspring thrive more.

Paul Vasey's research in Samoa has focused on a theory called kin selection or the "helper in the nest" hypothesis. The idea is that gay people compensate for their lack of children by promoting the reproductive fitness of brothers or sisters, contributing money or performing other uncle-like activities such as babysitting or tutoring. Some of the gay person's genetic code is shared with nieces and nephews and so, the theory goes, the genes which code for sexual orientation still get passed down.
