Well, I'm not buying. While I am absolutely no fan (!) of the queer radical crowd, I do see that it is possible that the homosexual male has an evolutionary benefit to the tribe. Although gays do not by themselves reproduce, they may have historically assisted in the maintenance of the hunting band or tribe by making use of positive gifts that seem to go with homosexuality: artistic gifts (aiding communication), intuition (medicine/spirit-world), and if nothing else home defense (being left behind when the brute males go hunting they may be the only males left in camp to protect the females from marauding bands). Perhaps it's the other traits that are the evolutionary boost, with homosexual behavior a "professional hazard".

Homosexual behavior may be an overabundance of good gifts of a sort, crossed with sexual habituation (i.e., being 'recruited' at a young age).

No, they do serve a useful purpose. They just don't need to be confirmed in their bad habits. (This is why we don't allow philandering males have more than one wife at a time, either.)

(Appropos of nothing, I remember getting into an argument about Taliban Johnnie Walker--with a Bosnian Muslim. Seems Taliban Johnnie wanted to have four Muslim wives; something the rest of us mocked in the office that morning. The Muslim looked at us and rather coldly replied, "So he wanted four wives. How does that make him different from any one else in California?") (The answer of course what that he wanted his four wives installed in parallel, and not in series, like a good American....)

...Just another reminder of why I don't frequent FR as much as I used to.

While sexual assault & child predation are horrific, criminal acts I really don't give a hoot who's a homo & who's not. Laissez-faire, MYOB.

This kind of crap really hurts Republicans. I'm sick of it.

They also provided sex partners for hunter gatherers due to high female morbidity due to childbirth. Think of certain bees in a colony that do not reproduce. Gay people are an expression of our evolution and civlization--based on sociobiological interpretation. Now, I can't speak for God and what God intended. It would best to let Him sort these things out if they are ultimately bad.

There are two unfounded assumptions in your post:

1)That the behavior is genetic, not learned and

2)That evolution actually happened.

If your unfounded assumptions were true, one would expect to see a similar pattern in the animal --especially primate-- world. There is no parallel.

So you are saying that sucking c#ck makes a man more artistic and more spiritual? Do you have any objective evidence of that?
