All abnormal variations are mistakes of nature
"Mistake" is an opinion. It's your opinion, not a fact. Nature can't make "mistakes" because it doesn't have a mind to have an aim and to make decisions so that it can make 'mistaken' decisions. Things happen, and if they're beneficial, they keep happening.
If homosexuality was indeed a beneficial variation, it would be flooding the human species with its genetic material by now_
But homosexuality by its own design does not contribute to the gene pool, making it inconsequential to the human species_
I can't imagine what "evolutionary advantage" that might be unless homosexuality was the solution to future overpopulation_
[ . . . ]
Humanity's compassion and acceptance has come a long way but making ridiculous claims could damage those advancements_
I already explained this. Current evidence suggests that homosexuality is a byproduct of the same genetic trait that causes the mother to reproduce more -- specifically, at a rate that offsets the evolutionary cost of a gay son. If that's the case, then your idea that homosexuality must be a "mistake" is incorrect, and that's what the current research suggests.
If homosexuality was indeed a beneficial variation, it would be flooding the human species with its genetic material by now_
Not everything is always beneficial, or always selected for. For example, sickle-cell anemia is selected for because it provides an evolutionary advantage . . . in certain circumstances. Specifically, in areas of dense tropical climate where malaria runs deep. Sickle-cell anemia will kill a person in such an area in about 35 or 40 years, but malaria can kill them in 35 or 40 days. Malaria doesn't grow well in sickle cells. Ergo, having sickle cell anemia provides an evolutionary advantage
in those environments.
That makes sickle cell anemia an evolutionary success, not a 'mistake'. But, at teh same time, it hasn't proliferated all over the world. Genetic evolution just doesn't fit in the simple little box you're trying to put it in. It's far more complicated than that.
Which is unlikely since homosexuals by design do not reproduce, nor do they naturally reoccur in sufficient numbers_
I'm simply saying that homosexuality is obviously a biological/psychological/evolutionary abnormality_
Homosexuals may make up as much as 5% of the population. That's significant. Also, it's only an "abnormality" in the mathematical sense; a sense which has no application in this discussion. It occurs, it continues to occur, so it is not a 'mistake'.
It may not be the politically correct thing to say or believe, but it is the truth whether we like it or not_
We're not children__As adults we should be able to discuss tough and sensitive issues honestly without all the sugar-coating_
I'm neither interested in political correctness, nor in 'sugar-coating' anything. You are simply wrong. Current evidence suggests that homosexuality -- or at least it's common cause -- confers an evolutionary benefit on the family where the genetic markers are found. It's only
very mildly complex to understand. If you try to force evolution into a simple explanation, then the explanation can be expected to be wrong.
Simply "keeps being selected for" is not an indication of genetic success_
Um. That's
exactly what a genetic success is. That's the entire concept of evolution. Right there.
