But that's a silly distinction to make. So... say most people have brown eyes therefore those that don't are outside the norm. See, you make it sound like theres only 1 right or correct way to be, wich is the majorities. That is simply not the case. Every species atribute begins in the majority until natural selection leads to it's extinction (it may come back, but in very small numbers). After all this time, homosexuality still exists in a very considerable number. This means it is part of the norm, as you put it. 

No, no. I'm not implying that one way is more right or correct than the other, just that one is prevalent to the other, thereby making it the norm. I'm not claiming anyone's better, just that there's inherent differences in the sexual behaviour between those groups of people.

And secondly, that's not how mutations work. I personally don't know if sexuality is genetic, as at least in some cases it appears that the influence in the personal development phase might modify it. But if it is entirely genetic, then it's a negative genetic mutation/trait, because it disables reproduction. So let's stop here, we might go on theorizing how and why that is, but we eventually won't get anywhere.

That's a very simplistic look at things, if it's genetic it doesn't need to be negative, you don't know in what ways this could affect the species as a whole in benefitial ways, if there was bad for the species then nature would have erased this behaviour and it hasn't, for milions of years it has been part of many species with no negative repercusions.
