A friend asked, "Is homosexuality nature's solution to overpopulation?"
Is it, really? What drives people to be homosexual? At what point in life do people turn gay? Or, were they always so inclined?
Do homosexual people have no desire to leave some of their trace on earth, that is, to reproduce? And hence, is it nature's solution to overpopulation? If yes, is it welcome for that reason?
Is homosexuality in the genes? Or is it a modern day phenomenon? Is it natural? Will it always be a fringe phenomenon?
…………….
Also, is lesbianism the best guarantee of women's empowerment? Sexuality is a double-edged weapon, remember? Let there be no penetration/perpetration of violence? Is that why men are intolerant of lesbianism, as it makes them dispensable?
Do we accept that man-woman relationships fail, by default? Because men just cant understand how women feel, and vice-versa? Could lesbians have more fulfilling relationships? No complications, eh? At least, no unwanted pregnancies to worry about. Less mess?
Any answers?

hey Arpi
I agree with you. I looked up the history of homosexuality. Well, it has always been there.
And the question, 'Is homosexuality nature's solution to overpopulation?' was more rhetoric, I guess.
Also, I agree that sexual inclincations whichever way need to be accepted.
I am confused. I can not imagine why a male would be attracted to a male and a female to a female. But, if I think about it, I could not find reason for a male's attraction to a female and vice versa either.
If attraction is a physical phenomena, then it looks plausible that these orientations are all physical. I would belive that if this attraction is mental, then there should be a reason for the attraction. And I am more confused
There are very strong genetic reasons that we know of for man-woman attraction. We dont know of any such genetic reason for homosexuality. But who knows?
Again, I wouldnt lay it down entirely on genes. There's some grey area over there.
It's me, Arpana.... already forgot my password and such that I had created yesterday. oh well.....
i thought someone would be curious that 11 states in America voted for an amendment against same-sex marriages.
Yeah, I read the news. Thought of posting it on the blog. I think I will do that.
Oh shucks, I cant find the story now. Anyone finds it, feel free to add link.
I keep away commenting from these topics, but this question was intriguing! Sorry to the originator, but homosexuality is as much a nature's solution to overpopulation as is narcissism (trying to tone it down, but one gets the idea, I hope)
hm, I am glad it intrigued you. There's never any harm in asking questions, though. But please, dont say sorry.
