I hope this community can be a good source of discussion as to why heterosexuality is the only sexuality that benefits society. All humans are made to be heterosexual, but unfortunately numerous deviations have rose up over the years. I wonder why...it makes me sad.
Nope.
Let's suppose that homosexuality is entirely genetic, something i'm willing to believe. Let's also presuppose it's a recessive trait, as it wouldn't last terribly long as a dominant trait. Finally, let's suppose that a primeval human social group is formed of two parents, both bearing the recessive gene for homosexuality (i.e., their children have a one in four chance of being gay).
These parents have four children, three of whom are straight (i.e., produce offspring of their own) and the fourth is gay. Three of the children breed. Going strictly by Darwinian behaviour via Dawkins, all of the original four children will seek to help and protect the three straight children's own offspring. The gay child has no offspring of its own, therefore the straight children will receive extra protection and assistance from the gay child than they would have done if the gay child was straight. The recessive gene therefore has more chance of being passed on to yet another generation.
With the greatest of respect, I suspect that the only reason so many people are so anti-Darwinism is because they don't actually understand it.
