Scientists have been grappling with reconciling homosexuality with evolution, assuming there is a genetic component, at least, to homosexuality. After all, shouldn't natural selection breed it out? There is speculation that it may serve an important, nonreproductive role. Maybe I'll dig around for a link.

Also, if homosexuals are merely reproductively deficient, well, the world doesn't need any more babies. So, you can view it as a deviation from the "ideal," which you establish fairly arbitrarily, or you can just go with it. I don't really care if it's a mental illness according to one line of thought. It's as easy to "prove" the contrary.
maybe this link.
