By your logic, homosexuality, something you yourself claim runs contrary to reproduction, would be weeded out rather quickly from the gene pool. That's quite wrong.

In regions where there is severe overcrowding, you would expect homosexuality to be more prevalent than in regions with less people per square mile/kilometer, but this simply isn't the case. In fact, it's almost the opposite. Did you know that a large portion of homosexuality in humans occurs in regions which aren't considered to be overcrowded?

Ah, but there is not one variable in this equasion. Again, not everything is black and white. For example, would you expect homosexuality to be more socially exceptable in a liberal place like San Francisco, or a conservative place like India? If you guessed SF, you get a cookie. If you're raised in a society where homosexuality is considered to be wrong, you're less likely to 1) admit to yourself that you might be gay, 2) admited to others that you were gay, and 3) live a gay lifesyle where you actively seek out other homosexuals for a relationship. On the opposite end, if you're raised in a society that promotes and even celebrates in your living as you see fit and in what way makes you comfortable, you see more homosexuals coming out and living honestly. That one variable, without any others, could explain why there are not as many outed homosexuals in some of the heavely populated places outside of the liberal areas of the US.

It's too bad you can't see the forest for the trees here. Bigotry can't be hidden beneith weak arguments. Homosexuals deserve the same marriage rights as heterosexuals, and to deny them this based on logic such as yours - homosexuals already do have equal rights, homosexuals aren't "normal because they only make up 8% of the population, homosexuality is comparable to polygamy or incest, and it doesn't follow "traditional American values" - is absolutely insane.
Maybe we should take away marriage rights from everyone.
