<<Riiight. If that were true, then humanity could exist without heterosexual coupling, without eating, without the use of our senses, etc... >>

You're full of ad hominem and straw men these days. I wonder if someone has assumed your identity.

You've argued that homosexuality is contrary to our fundamental biological nature and therefore tolerated at humanity's peril.

But nature has produced homosexuality, so it's certainly not contrary to nature.

Tolerance is seemingly an essential human quality for society to thrive in all its complex social manifestations.

And with specialization, it may well benefit us to have a certain percentage of non-procreators built in to the gene pool. It used to be old maids and elderly bachelors now it's homosexuals.

Evolution is about the survival of the species which in our case may well involve sustaining variety with tolerance even if that includes those who prefer recreational sex to pro-creational sex.

Your psuedo-scientific case against homosexuality is merely your own opinion with no basis in science. It is no different than creationism in that you're trying to pitch your religious views as science, trying to cast a wider net as it were.
