there are latent genes... epigeneology or something like that (dont know the english term). meaning there are dna codes that get de and activated during your lifetime depending on the situation you live in.

Wouldn't that imply that gay people then shouldn't want to have kids? Which is of course clearly not true.

well there have been some studies that suggest the chance of homosexuality increases the more older brothers you have but that of course results in predictive models of 120% chance of homosexuality and the kids come out perfectly straight so... It's possible that there is some kind of mechanism in place that disfavors breeding after a certain number of offspring and put the non-breeding units to work like some colonial species of bird and insect. But it seems unlikely in primate ecology for such a thing to be the case.

Not all behaviors and traits are evolutionary adaptations, many are just byproducts, holdovers, or accidents. There are plenty of cases in nature of animals forming same-sex pair bonds and engaging in various forms of affection through physical pleasure. It's presence among humans is in no way unusual so, whatever.

There is no such thing as an "evolutionary mechanism". Natural selection is an effect, not a cause.

I like to believe in the Native American definition: two spirits. My mother had a miscarriage before she had me.... so what if I am a man with a woman ghost living in me. SOMEONE DIED IN THERE BEFORE I CAME ALONG.
