What is the point of homosexuality?

[Calandale]

The internets matter.

Film and girls also.

Alcohol too comes under that list.

Ah. Spam.

As I thought.

It doesn't have to be about genetics though
From what I've read, I think it's more likely to be due to the hormonal environment in the womb

[Calandale]

It doesn't necessarily have to get rid of the weakest, to be a natural reaction to overpopulation
i've seen studies on other animals (rats, i think), where more of them became gay, asexual etc when there were more of them

I know. It's just less efficient that way.
But, a nice solution, when famine and plague
stop working.

So, I guess the biblical type have a reason to
see it as an evil, if they equate it with their other
horsemen of the apocalypse?

Maybe this time, God will destroy the world through
gay sex.

I don't thik it's all in the genes though.

I personally think it's a mixture of nature and nurture.

Some may be born with a predisposition to be gay, but certain things, the way they may be brought up, lead them never to discovering those feelings or acting upon them.

A world without homosexuals and aspies would be a very dark world indeed.

Not acting on your sexuality doesn't make you straight

whats the cause? pleasure obviously. if your miserable liking the opposite sex what fun is there in that?

[Sophgay]

A world where all the hot women in it were sophosexual would be awesome

[Persona]

Not acting on your sexuality doesn't make you straight

Not saying it does.

What if you never DISCOVER that you are gay?  I mean, it doesn't occur to some when they might not experience joy with being with a guy or woman.  They might think it's either them or the person that is doing something wrong.

Also I still stand by my theory that it's a mixture of nature and nurture.

The predisposition for producing hormones is genetic.
Without our genes, we'd produce none. 

For me, it's important because it's a part of the life cycle.
Genetic programming is less about the DNA structure (which
we usually cheat heavily on) and more about what passes on
its genes, and what doesn't. If there's a random selector, based
upon overpopulation, it would be interesting to test its efficacy.

Not that I'm likely to, where I'm working. 

[Sophgay]

they're still gay though, whether they discover it or act on it or not

[Calandale]

That's not the cause though.
That's the effect.

[Persona]

You are not getting my point.

i meant "not genetic" in terms of the Gay Gene people talk about
A lot of anti-gay, religious people use that (or the lack of it) to justify their position
