I just don't get it

There are other species in nature where there are homosexual couples, and yet those species have not gone extinct. So I think you are wrong.

I did read a study once that there might be evolutionary stuff in what we seek in a partner, and for a (straight) guy they might want a woman with a good hip-to-waist ratio, for example (think Marilyn Monroe, not today's stick-thin models), because that subliminally suggested "good birthing hips". But even when I was in denial in high school reading this, I found myself drawn to the male model (where things like strong shoulders and a broad forehead indicated a "strong protector type").

So, could evolution play a part in attraction? Yes, i believe so. But to think that deep down your friend must want some need to find a woman is just wishful and possibly dangerous thinking (I admittedly skimmed, so I mean this if he said he is gay; if he is bi, that is more complicated). But assuming he is gay, you need to accept reality and learn how to just be friends, and talk with your friend if needed to move past this.
