Point of information:There's rather a lot of research suggesting that homosexuality can actually benefit the transmission of genes in several species of animals. I don't have the references to hand, but the argument goes like this: where a male is unable, for whatever reason, to pass on his own genes, by removing himself from the direct competition by being gay, and providing support to his siblings rather than wasting energy fighting over mates, copies of his genes are passed on (via brothers and sisters) where they othewise may not have been. So genetically being gay isn't necessarily wrong.

Interesting,But I'm sure that it doesn't apply universally.
Lots of species display homosexual behavoir when the population levels get too high.
just another theory though.

You've got a pointI don't really have any desire to have children, but I like other people's kids (even if I am crap with them).
