> Why do we say homosexuality is primarily genetic if evolution is true?
In my opinion it must be to help the fitness of the community they live in. The communities with low likelihood to spawn a gay person are (were?) much more likely to go extinct. It can also be a basic property (side effect?) of the sexual appeal arms race.
There is also the case of suicides, when they happen to young people that hasn't reproduced yet. It can also be argued its for the benefit of the community.
So the thesis is that the primary force in evolution is not individual's fitness but it is the community's fitness.
