Your right there would be no genetic corruption, because there would be no reproduction and adaptation.

And to further that question, wouldn't it be logical to assume that if Homosexuality was a purely genetic condition that it will eventually die out due to the inability to breed without outside assistance (sperm donation etc)?

So the current question that comes to mind, is homosexuality something thats inherant in all of us as a recessive condition, and in I guess a minority of the species it comes to the forefront based on whatever condition fires it?

Just curious

Perhaps when we were monkeys, occasionally mokeys, boy monkeys would hump other boy monkeys for fun and it would create a stronger community as there were more partners around to have a good time with. This larger community survived better because there is strength in numbers, hence the genes of the monkeys who liked to hump other boy monkeys on the side were passed on.

Or, what if in groups where one male mates with most of the females. Perhaps that male expresses his dominance by humping other male monkeys (kind of like prison). By humping other male monkeys against their will, he maintains his position on top of the breeding ladder and passes along his genes that like to hump other boy monkeys.

There you go, without much thought on the issue, I've come up with two viable situations where homsexual behavior (though not strictly) can be bread into a population.
