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. 

That's not how nature works at all. There are many syndroms that occur in species for millions of years causing them to not grow older than 5, limit intelligence, albino's, allergies. Just look at all the syndroms we can have as a specie. Some of them very bad and they will never be erased from existence. Those are however very rare and dont occur often. DNA always mutates to new situations that doesn't mean it gets better each time just different. Many harmful mutations are statically speaking quite rare and most unharmful mutations remain in the DNA. For example my eyes being blue instead of brown is a mutation that caries for thousands of years. It's not positive or negative it just exists. Same as being gay just exists its neither positive or negative for a species as long as it's max 10% of the population.

 

Gay just exists as a random genetic disorder. Since reproduction and survival of the species is the true goal for any animal. The same still counts for humans biologically speaking. Being gay isn't really a positive or negative thing. Having said that I still would not refer to being gay as normal, which I simply base on statistics. The same way some other disorders as having a naevus or firemark/wine spot isn't normal but neither positive or negative.
