I thing the historical permanence of homosexuality argues for a prima facie acceptance of the premise. Like heterosexuals they have reproduced their specific genetics and that is undoubtedly important regardless that we know so little about genes. What seems most obvious from a look at all the cultures whom found cultural value in homosexuality is that it clearly helped those cultures to preserve some of their more civilized human qualities such as less aggression, a regard for diversity, etc. danaanpress.com times10.org The following looks at homosexuality surviving "not because gay men, per se, are adaptive, but because the gay gene makes straight men more successfully heterosexual. McKnight hypothesises that this homosexual genetic loading endows some straight men with two crucial characteristics - enhanced sexual drive and charm" It also comes to mind that homosexual friendships with women offer something in a different vein than is normally possible between men and women in general where intimacy invokes sexual tensions. lib.latrobe.edu.au One can read theories forever while still choosing to accept only ones own prejudices. In the end the question is somewhat absurd considering that heterosexuality and homosexuality both exibit an endurance which testifies to the evolutionary value of both. Both have reproduced the race and both contribute obvious differences in personality and orientation toward values of expression, communication, and so forth. As some of these representative links show--there are many ways of examining and conceptualizing the values of both orientations. What is important, however, is that one recognize the obvious: Homosexuality has existed in a proportional basis since humans first reproduced. The fact that it has been honored and exalted in so may cultures attests to a cultural value and by extension an evolutionary one. A thorough reading of the following book grounds one in a greater appreciation for the facts and allows many of the prejudices and myths to slough off naturally. fordham.edu
