An interesting article pointed out to me by an old friend from college.  From the article:

You can’t isolate gay men as a puzzle or problem anymore. You have to see them as part of a bigger, stronger, enduring phenomenon.

I’ve always thought that hundreds of thousands or millions of years of evolution didn’t result in homosexuality accidentally.  We get into trouble when you look at single instances of our human population in isolation.  I like to think of humans not as individuals, but as a large organism that exists and adapts over many generations.  Like a forest crawling up the raw slope of a recent mountain landslide.  Each human or tree is quite inconsequential on its own.
