Justified by who? Or by what? I read an intersting argument the
other day that a certain percentage of homosexuals is evolutionary
a good idea: a group that has some people who are not preoccupied
with their own offspring but can work for the common good has
a higher overall chance of survival. In a nutshell.

Apart from such objective arguments, I doubt that you know
any homosexuals from up close, and your ramblings are just that.
Without any basis in informed fact.
