I disagree. The presence of homosexuality supports reproduction. Not among homosexuals, but among heterosexuals. Quote:

Yet, the biological dead-end you speak of has persisted for thousands of years. <!--QuoteBegin-Poetic_Justice As a side effect of some other trait which is evolutionarily selectable I could see it, but as a primary trait being selected, such a thing makes no sense.[/quote]Now you're beginning to get it. Consider this: The likelihood of homosexual expression in an individual female's offspring increases with each birth. This statistic remains true, even if that one female selects different males to mate with. I believe this is one important clue that points to the very survival adaptation you speak of.
