The teleology of sex isn't solely procreation but pleasure. Just like how masturbation hasn't made the human race die out. I suspect gay genes are preserved by bisexuals which produces some variation offspring more wired for male or female attraction just as children aren't exact clones of their parents.

I should also note that all fetuses begin as female then either remain or develop into male.

masturbation is abnormal, duh

>>8650
It is considered an abnormality. You use the word "abnormality" when you very clearly want it to be considered a pathology.
It is not considered a pathology because it is not pathological, either to the individual, or to civilized society, or indeed to the evolutionary chances of one's broader generic group: there are several patterns (discovered because homosexuality is/was considered abnormal!) that suggest it is, in fact, desirable.
e.g. birth order effect - you're more likely to be gay the more older brothers you have, unless they're adopted - can plausibly be explained by the evolutionary trade-off in balancing "son who reproduces" against "son who provides childcare/protection/labour" etc tipping to the latter the more sons you have.
Remember, evolution works in terms of genes, not individuals.

Homosexual behaviour is also documented in numerous non-human animal species.
