Value? No. I don't find value in homosexuality or heterosexuality. I find value in the more general idea that people can love each other deeply, and support each other- and I don't care how they do that.

"Right now, the world would be no worse off if it didn't exist. I merely accept it as something that exists just as left and right handed exist" So your attitude is impartial, right? So which of these do you find "value" in?? The right hand, or the left?? Which hand should be oppressed?? Do we need to cut off one of the hands? Which one and why?? "I do not find value in it although I do think it could turn out to be adaptive some day." Obviously you have not read the many links I have posted on this subject, Karen. I am disappointed in that... ALL societies have had homosexuality. Nobody knows what it means in some imagined future in 73 trillion billion years. But we know that it is adaptive just as we know heterosexuality is adaptive: Heterosexuality exists, too. In modern culture it is even more normative--probably due to the fact of evolutionary impulse for procreation. Neither point is relevant, however, as to when the sun will burn out...
