| Yerm said: i have a very logical mindset, and because of that I have a hard time trying to convince myself that homosexuals are perfectly normal people because logically homosexuals make no sense. why would our species evolve to allow a man to love another man, or a woman to love another woman? biologically it make no sense, so from this mindset I can only see homosexuality as an evolutionary defect that prevents people from wanting to breed. so why do homosexuals even exist? that being said its not like I hate gay people, in fact I have many gay friends and I wish all the best for them. i dont really want to feel this way about them, but its hard to argue with my own thoughts |
But what does this statement mean? Most people are not "perfectly normal". Some people have hayfever, some have short sightedness, some have hyperactive motobolism which maybe works well in western worlds but would be a problem in the wild when they need to store fat. Blue eyes are a mutation and people poccessing them are a minority, so are they not "normal"? The word means very little when you think about it ;)
Where evolution is concerned. Life wants to maintain life, people shouldn't mistake this for everyone "breeding". There are many species where breeding is only for select individuals (like the apex female/male of a wolf pack) and others members of the society play helpers roles. One of the most popular theories of why humans and killer whales go through menopause also support that. When you're a social species, that too is built into our DNA, and the maintainance of society is more than just everyone breeding.
Another theory relates to homosexuality being a likely an offshoot of high female sexual reproductivity, so judging the evolutionary validity is a bit more complex than looking at the fact that a gay couple can't procreate.
