Why do religious people not approve of homosexuality?

[Pseudo Rob]

If homosexuality was an evolutionary disadvantage, then in strict terms of evolution it still is and by the same token should have died out long before humans got around to formulating religions.

Remember that homosexuality has not been shown to be inhereted through the generations.

Also it's no more a disadvantage than celibacy, which has been practiced for one reason or another for a very long time.

I am sorry but I disagree. While what you say might be true of female homosexuality, I believe it is false with respect to male homosexuality. Primitive tribes had no shortage of men to father children, one man can father children by many women. Men of high social status often take more than one wife, men of low social status may be unable to find a wife. The offspring not sired by a few gay men would easily be sired by others. So long as those few gay men were economically productive and supported their young siblings and nieces and nephews then there is no reason to believe that an accepting tribe would fail to survive. Especially when you appreciate that most children born would not live to sexual maturity, feeding children better may be a superior reproductive strategy than having more children.

Ah, you guys are right! I shouldnt have spoken so authoritatively on the matter and should've mentioned that I was making it up as i went along :p

Your contributions have been helpful to me. I love to be proved wrong

Welcome to the forum; I too am intrigued by your avatar and would love to make a guess about what it is but alas, there are far too few pixels for me to be able to tell. Post a big pic and let's all have a guess!

Thanks for your welcome
