If someone is a homosexaul, they have less of a chance of passing on a supposed homosexaul gene, than a heterosexual. Over time, homosexuality would simply breed itself out of existence, but oddly enough it hasn't.

Genetics isn't that cut and dried. Have you ever heard of recessive genes? I have four heterosexual brothers and sisters. One or all of whom may pass the "gay gene" on to their offspring. (Plus, many gay people do have children.)
