Homosexuality - God’s/Natures Gift to
Humanity
It’s is an
amazing fact that somewhere from ten to twenty percent of the male population
of any given society is homosexual (only speaking male homosexuality here) or
inclined that way. From an evolutionary viewpoint it seems counter intuitive that
males who in the normal course of events over time immemorial have not reproduced
or had lower off spring then heterosexual men are such a large percentage of
the population.
It is a
given that the struggle to be male is a profound and complicated one as the
basic genome type is female and the biological struggle to be masculine is
intense. It is a complex field of genetics, adaption and natural selection.
Compounded by the fact that our natures are convergent blends of the anima and
animus.
The other
factor here of course is that evolution through natural and sexual selection is
a zero sum game. It is neither right nor
wrong-it just is. If a trait is a benefit to the species then it will
survive, those traits will be passed on by gene replication and allele
interaction, again it is complex and variable thing. But genetic studies seem
to show that some relations sharing similar genes are more inclined to be
homosexual.
The
homosexual uncle who takes care of his nieces and nephews and has the
resources, time and inclination is enhancing his prospect of passing on his
genes by the fact that they share twenty five percent of his genes in random
order. Also primitive, natural and tribal societies from long ago most probably
had a different attitude to homosexuality than we have developed now.
That scene
in the film Little Big Man sums up the Cheyenne American Indians attitude to
homosexuality:
Little Horse: [an
obviously homosexual Indian approaches Jack] Little Big Man! You have returned.
Don't you remember me? That hurts me deep in my heart.
All this
means of course that homosexuality far from being abnormal as some would assert
through their belief systems or dogmas (Moralistic Fallacy) is as natural as heterosexuality.
The fact that homosexuals are by and large discriminated against in modern
society is a product more I think of our cultural, religious and historical
biases and our tendency to dislike any who are different rather than to any
reasoned approach.
History is
full of famous and meritorious homosexuals:

So thank you.
Further reading is a must if you are interested:
Anima is the source of the female part of personality and Animus is the source of the male part.

Definition: An allele is an alternative form of a gene (one member of a pair) that is located at a specific position on a specific chromosome. These DNA codings determine distinct traits that can be passed on from parents to offspring. The process by which alleles are transmitted was discovered by Gregor Mendel and formulated in what is known as Mendel's law of segregation.
