So next time ask a pro-homosexual agenda activist if they believe in evolution, why are they promoting behavior which is inconsistent with Darwin's postulates (natural selection and survival of the fittest). Homosexual behavior doesn't propagate the species, and therefore is illogical and inconsistent with good evolutionary theory.

You are appealing to an is-ought fallacy, and also demonstrating a lack of understanding of genetics.

Regardless of anyone's view of homosexuality, your specific argument does not represent sound reasoning. It commits the fallacy of "arguing from 'is' to 'ought'," also sometimes called "the naturalistic fallacy". IOW, just because something "is" so (usually in nature) it does not follow that it "ought" to be so, or advocated (usually in human society).

For example, also in accord with "natural selection and survival of the fittest," male lions usually kill all the cubs in a pride when they take it over from another male. There are many other examples of ubiquitous infanticide in nature. Nor is infanticide uncommon in human cultures. None of this, however, morally justifies infanticide.

If you're talking homosexual as in "eww the other sex is icky" than that's true, but same-sex behavior is occasionally seen in otherwise "straight" animals as a means of domination.

Not necessarily true--maybe they are helping to weed out the less fit. ;-)

Cheers!

Homosexuals are a walking conundrum of hodge-podge, piece meal arguments. Very little they say to defend themselves actually holds water...(they can't stand in a Xtian debate, and as you have so amicably pointed out...they can't stand in a Darwinist/Evolution debate either).

I don't think that homosexuals are all that concerned with the next generation, being more concerned with the momentary sensation.

On the other hand, some homosexuals adopt that lifestyle as a defense mechanism to trama.

Of course, a diety could make even a homosexual union productive. Interesting: religious people who assert that marriage is about producing children can justify homosexual marriage by cracking the door to let in a miracle!
