@impscum I was talking to ender, who in a previous post made the slippery slope argument I was referring to.

To both you and Post Prae, I am quite aware that our species has evolved to prefer monogamous and altruistic behaviors. That wasn't really my point, though. I was merely stating that, yes, on the face of it, homosexuality does not help reproduction. Well, on the face of it only having one sexual partner is not great for reproduction either, numbers wise. But my point is that doesn't matter. There's no shortage of babies. And we live in a world where homosexual parents can be just as good as heterosexual parents in terms of helping their children develop, whether that child was obtained through natural means or otherwise.

In regards to what causes such things as homosexuality and transsexuality, I too am curious. Is it neurological? Is it upbringing? It is not "normal" per se, but my point in this regard is that, again, it doesn't matter. Even if it is "technically" a psychological disorder, that doesn't matter, because, unlike the other disorders, it's not harmful (in fact the only thing harmful about it is other people making fun of them or comparing them to pedophiles). 

And DE you're going to have to explain yourself there.
