I am not trying to raise a moral issue, nor to argue the 'rights'
of individuals, nor am I saying that homo-sexuals don't contribute
to society.  My point is merely that over past eons, any GENETIC
tendency to be homo-sexual must have died out and that most homo
sexuals will be such because of learned (probably in childhood or
adolesence) influences.
	An example :  my brown hair is 'natural', my use of the
English language is 'learned'.
	Being homosexual MAY benefit homo-sapiens by reducing the
birth rate, but it will definitely select against people with that
tendancy
