DICUSSIONS OF THE MORALITY, NATURALNESS, ETC. OF HOMOSEXUALITY DO NOT BELONG
IN SOC.MOTSS. THERE ARE OTHER GROUPS FOR THE POSTING OF ONE'S BIASES (EVEN
THE ONES SHROUDED IN SCIENTIFIC SPECULATION).

Until you've shown that homosexuality and heterosexuality are separate
phenomenon needing separate explanations, wonderings like this are
a misguided consequence of your bias.
By wondering as above, you're simply presuming that heterosexuality
needs no explanation.

These questions need to be asked of sexual orientation in general,
not of just one particular sexual orientation.
