Here's My Theory

Homosexuality and Evolution

Evolution states that all living things evolve on the basis of survival. The ability to reproduce is really the only requirement for a species to survive. There is a paradox here though: how can you explain homosexuality through evolution?

It really seems to go against everything evolution tells us. Since homosexuals don’t reproduce, their traits never get passed on. So how can that be if roughly 10% of people are homosexuals?

Here’s my theory: What I just said isn’t entirely true.

Up until recently, homosexuality was completely misunderstood. Very few people ever pursued their natural sexual desires because it simply didn’t fit into society. These people ignored their own feelings and married the opposite sex anyway to live a “normal” life. Another part of the “normal” life was to have kids and start a family.

So to say “homosexuals don’t reproduce” is a complete lie. As homosexuality gains acceptance in the world, less and less homosexuals will live phony heterosexual lives. Eventually, it would make sense that homosexuals would actually become extinct.

I don’t see that happening though, because it is extremely common for a same-sex marriage to use a sperm or egg donor, which would pass their genes on anyway. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that”.
