ok livingfossil,

Forgive my first post, I didn't mean to be unclear. I'm not trying to denormalize homosexual behavior. I am using evolutionary theory to justify what I believe to be "right" and/or "normal."

I was trying to give a reason why some people consider homosexuality a disease or disorder. I have come to understand that there were a couple investigations into the genetic origins of homosexuality. These "studies" which I talked about before attributed homosexual behavior to an undersized gland and/or a missing component of the y chromosome. Assuming that to be true would allow someone to say Homosexuality is a "disease" or "disorder."

However, it was later shown that these studies were faulty for several reasons. So, I don't believe that these results are true, nor should anyone. It's just that some people do, thus the justification for calling it a disease or disorder.

Now, my little theory is one that I will happily admit is based on pretty vague scientific theories that aren't very well investigated, too my knowledge. This isn't exactly what I think, just something I think about. There have been studies that show individuals, I think in a rat population, that had certain genetic disorders; these creatures either refused to procreate, or other members of their species refused to procreate with them. So, I was simply considering that perhaps homosexuals have something that makes them incapable of producing healthy offspring, so they look for love in a different place. *shrug* It's not how I truly feel, it's just something I'm interested in learning more about. :-) I wasn't trying to offend anyone, sorry if I did. I hope I made myself a little more clear. I do understand that the whole rat thing is really thin, which is why I don't adhere to it as fact...as of yet.
