Alexa, how do homosexuals reproduce?

Most people who bring up this argument know little about genetics or how genes work.

I'm going to make a gross generalization here, but bear with me:

We can classify the caracteristics related to the survival of living beings in three basic types: beneficial, harmful and neutral. The harmful ones tend to he selected out and the beneficial ones are passed down.

The neutral ones? That's where the problem lies.

If trait x doesn't interfere with survival then why would it be selected out? An example of this are the different shapes of ear lobes, which have zero impact on survival of the species and so they stayed on the species even today.

If homosexuality is still around then it is either one of two things: either a neutral trait for the survival of the species or a positive one. There's no way around it.

Another thing: natural selection is about the survival of the species not of a single individual within an species. Some people tend to forget this, mainly due to lack of knowledge or lack of experience in the area.
