In addition when weighing the relative merits of homo sexuality versus hetero sexuality with respect to evolution, I think the point is moot. Evolution occurs over generations. The next generation comes to exist via a a process that is about as hetero sexual as you can get! (sounds rather clinical doesnt it) Anyway, when it comes to genes, these little buggers are supposed to be contained on chromosomes half of which come from each partner in a decidedly hetero (again) encounter. This half each is what diversifies gene pools and allows the evolutionary process to take place. What does all this mean?? If homosexuality means anything to the human evolutionary process, it's meaning is surely dwarfed when compared to heterosexuality. Maybe this is obvious, but I thought I'd say it anyway Paul Maioriello pyuxll!pjm
