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

Biologically makes no sense to you because you know nothing about the subject and you are looking for easy answer when this could be more complicated, as I said before homosexuality is present in hundreds of species and not only from mammals, if there is absolutely no evolutive benefit then nature would have erased this but it didn't.

"Biologically makes no sense to you because you know nothing about the subject and you are looking for easy answer when this could be more complicated"

I am not just looking for an easy answer, and I assure you I know plenty about biology. A lot of the science surrounding homosexuality is still very basic, choppy, and very theoretical, so yes it is more complicated. Obviously I dont understand all the inner workings of it, nobody does, and this is the best way I can think to rationalize it. If some scientist came out with a huge discovery on the science and biology of homosexuality then I would be all for it and be glad to have been proven wrong, but for now there is no such science.

"as I said before homosexuality is present in hundreds of species and not only from mammals"

Im sorry but who are you? I wasnt aware we were having a conversation, i thought I was just sharing my honest thoughts on homosexuality. Oh wait, I was.... Dont just assume that I specifically scanned through every single comment in this thread and happened to read yours before writing this. I dont know who you are, I dont know what you previously said, and I sure as hell did not write that in response to you.

"if there is absolutely no evolutive benefit then nature would have erased this but it didn't"

and right now I dont see any benefit to being homosexual, and if there was a benefit to it, then why arent we all homosexuals? the only thing that would make sense if it was a mutation, but i dont really want to say that due to the limited science backing that up.

"Look at this theory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsX2vfFNPak"

a loosely based theory from a source I would not call reliable.
