Is homosexuality natural?

Is the argument settled? I feel like contributing on the topic.
In a darwinist aspect I suppose exclusive homosexuality isn't. Or rather it isn't good for survival purposes, so it should have been eliminated in the process of evolution. It is natural in the way that it exists in nature, but it can be argued that it is unnatural in the way that it is made up by humans.
I believe it's natural.

There are many studies showing that homosexuality in nature actually helps animals, for example at primate homosexuality seems to be a social skill that allows to keep the peace in exchange for sex. In order for a species to survive, all you need is for the members to have sex. There does not need to be a preference for heterosexuality. For example, I am a gay male. Within my lifetime I will have thousands of sexual encounters with a few men. If I engage in heterosexual coupling just twice and each time a child is born, I will have helped continue the species. The point being is that all a species needs is random sex. Historically, there has been a bias in researchers to only identify heterosexual behaviors. Only recently have animal biologist begun to count same-sex sexual pairing. Lo and behold, what do they find? Most animals don't have a preference toward heterosexuality. They just bump each other and occasionally it is opposite-sex behavior. Homosexuality is a natural evolutionary tendency.

I am aware of this, which is why I said exclusive homosexuals, i.e. those that will not have intercourse with the opposite sex. I wanted to add that perversity is helpful for the species, but I would've been implying something that might be offensive to the gays.
I wouldn't say that homosexuality is better for survival, but being extremely sexual will. As gay sex won't inhibit your genes carrying on, that's not a problem. But I see homosexuality as an exclusive thing.

Smart dumb people. Who cares if it is natural or not?

The world is confused because people don't know what to do with themselves.

have a gay cousin, and he is one of the straightest acting men I know


He is a black belt, he does fencing, he speaks french, spanish, and arabic fluently, and he drinks alcahol like a stud. (Not wine coolers lol. I've seen him drink straight Vodka, and finish about half a bottle in a day. He drinks alot of beer too.)

yeah thats got nothing to do with bein Homo. but yes bein gay is fine and natural. anything that's been around since the dawn of manknid i think is natural. look at the spartants they would go and trips with around 30 men n have gay orgys..the greeks n romans all so did this.. even the Japanese.

So yeah its natural
