Chess has almost no known homosexual men among grandmasters, a remarkable absence which was the subject of a report:[1]
| “ | There are an estimated 1,328 grandmasters--men and women--at the latest count. If we follow the general percentage, there should be at least 250 homosexuals. Right? Wrong. ... There are no known gays among male grandmasters today. | ” |
Other activities, such as baseball, also have nearly a complete absence of homosexuality.
Both chess and baseball are skills typically developed before puberty, so their correlation with non-homosexuality in adulthood is striking. Do these activities intrinsically promote heterosexuality rather than homosexuality in males?
