The problems with homosexuality

Homosexuality has a genetic component and is more common in some families than they are in others. Someone (was it Big3?) posted a study which showed that the genetic components (whatever they are) which contribute to homosexuality may also cause higher fecundity in women.

This is one of many hypotheses which can explain homosexuality and why it's as abundant as it is.

*** people are a minority different from a majority, that's all. Homosexuality is actually common in most species of social mammals. The idea that it's unnatural is relatively ancient in modern biology and was debunked a long time ago. It was based on the assumption that sex is only good for one thing - reproduction - which we now know is wrong.

edit :

You know, this is the kind of arrogance usually only found in the ignorant. What makes you an expert?

I think by "unnatural" he means more the breeding side of it. Evolution works by reproduction, which is naturally impossible with homosexuals. Also I feel that for a lot (certainly not all) of people being homosexual is a lifestyle choice.

Yet evolution has resulted in a lot of homosexuality so obviously there are some mechanisms and factors we can discover which explain how that has happened. These explanations are not in any sense likely to be unnatural.

Check out the study I posted for example. That provides an explanation because the *** genetics give higher fecundity (a fitness benefit) to women and this helps perpetuate them. Homosexual behaviour in nature helps smoothen social relations etc, as done so famously by the bonobo chimpanzees.

Putting your homosexual desires into action is a lifestyle choice, having them isn't, really.

While homosexuality is genetic, bigoted people still get it wrong. Homosexuality can be caused by many things but some people wrongly think it's always hormonal imbalance. It does have a strong connection to transgenderism I think. But a lot of homosexuals are manly as f*ck, and lesbian women can still be very feminine.

But unfortunately it's still common practice to assume that men who are "feminine" must be homosexuals and that women who are "masculine" must be homosexual also.

I've had gay rumors spread about me before and that will probably never go away even though I'm a hetero 4lyfe. But I pee sitting down so I must be gay.
