What is with the people that spout this? Likely their views are in line with biology and how reproduction works with heterosexual species. It's how they PERCEIVE those things. That doesn't mean they are correct. A lot of perceptions on what is normal are based on biology and how effective certain traits have in the scope of evolution and heredity fitness. That said technology today has made it possible for those with unusual traits or genetic defects to survive. In the wild and in the absence of assistance it is less likely they would survive let alone reproduce. How someone perceives nature, biological processes, and evolution in terms of genetics, is independent of the truth or actuality. As Balrog said it nicely, evolution doesn't care what you think, the genetic materials are all that matter. A homosexual person may not breed, but it isn't hindering evolutionary processes. And are you trying to suggest that homosexuality wouldn't exist without 'technological aid?' A homosexual person who does not breed via natural means indicates that this type of trait is not a suitable evolution path to take as natural selection dictates that the most successful traits will be passed on more often while unfavorable traits will not be passed onto future generations as often. Removing technology would not prevent homosexuality as human behavior is shaped by both nature and nurture. To say removing technology would prevent homosexuality assumes incorrectly that technology consists of all of the environment and the genetics. There are multiple factors, both genetic and non technological environmental that influence human behavior. That said, technology does allow homosexual couples reproduce to an extent which increases the likelihood of their genetic traits being passed on in comparison to the distant past. In addition technological progress has significantly altered the environment of today. In the past homosexual behavior was frowned upon, but today it has become more acceptable in part because of the advancement of communication technology and research into the matter. The improvement in the environment would positively affect this type of behavior. So while removing technology would not have necessarily prevented homosexual behavior, technology has promoted it above a certain baseline amount. --- ~Yuki~ <cite>DragonGirlYuki posted [p:898620521] in Straight p...
