What homosexuality has to with evolution only a crazed fundamentalist knows.

Death-cultists are on a mission to erase science from the public sphere. It’s about being able to do anything they want, especially fundie behavior. That’s why they have to ignore the fact that homosexuality is inborn. Their homo fetish doesn’t fit with science so they never have an answer as to how homos can exist. If the death-cult were true, then they would have been beamed up sometime in the past 2000 years. That’s almost reason to wish it were true. Almost.
Fixed.

Evolution. Homosexuality. Nope, I still don't see the connection... please explain?

Can't see anything except from your own cultish frame of reference, can you?
Okay, we really do exist, and we're using stem cells to clone the head of Darwin. Then we're going to graft it on to the spine of a Gay abortion doctor. Five more heads and we'll have the Beast from Revelations. One of them will play the bagpipes, and another will know how to tap dance. Happy?

What does Genesis have to do with homosexuality? The rules against homosexuality are in Leviticus.

To which homo do you refer? Homo Habilis? Homo Erectus? Homo Eraster? Homo Sapiens?

You're right, of course, but making sense doesn't typically matter to fundies, whose usual M.O. is to drive their opponents from the field with their breathtaking inanity (kudos to Judge Jones!). Then, they claim victory and say it was because they actually had strong arguments which their secular opponents knew they couldn't counter.

That’s why they have to ignore the fact that all reproduction is between a male and a female.
Except for the likes of amoebae, hydrae and coelenterates that don't have sexes at all. And parthenogenic creatures like aphids and rotifers. And the earthworms and mollusks that are hermaphrodites. And the whiptail lizard species that are all female. And that Komodo dragon at Chester Zoo in the UK that laid viable eggs despite never having met a male. And the sharks that can do the same. And the split-gill fungus that has over twenty-eight thousand sexes...
Those wacky evolutionists, eh?

Nothing. Its writers were keen on incest though.

Not all reproduction is between a male and a female, and certainly not all copulation. Nor is "reproductive success" just about how many kids you have (Quiverfull, take note).
There is no reason that homosexuality would go extinct if the genes that predispose someone to it are on average not harmful to the reproductive success of a carrier. I.e. if the same gene lead to greater reproductive success in women even though it reduced that of men, it may still persist, even thrive, in a population since on average, carrying the gene might be a positive thing.
Alternatively, homosexual behaviour may have positive effects directly , such as promoting cohesion in social animals, or perhaps polyandry/polygyny in pair-breeders.
And that is two out of a dozen possible scenarios.
Do we have a definitive answer? No.
Do we lack possible answers? Certainly not.
If TGBTG or any other fundie actually believed their little book of fables, they would not use the products of us evil "evo-cultists" at every cough and sniffle. They "trust in the Lord" about as far as the nearest pharmacy, because, as loud as they shout, or rather lie, deep-down they know which one works.

"Evo-cultists are on a mission to erase Genesis from the public sphere."
Well, those who understand and accept the ToE are not cultist, but I would like to diminish the effects of Genisis in the public sphere to that of an interesting bit of history rather than a basis for a "world-view" and a stand in for science.
"It’s about being able to do anything they want, especially homo behavior."
The ToE has nothing to do with "being able to do anything they want" and little to do with the social aspects of homosexuality.
"That’s why they have to ignore the fact that all reproduction is between a male and a female."
No, we don't ignore that, but that's not the end all of genetics, TGBTG. Even those who do not reproduce, can still contribute to the viability of a species.
"Their homo fetish doesn’t fit with their *science* yet they never have an answer as to how homos can exist with it."
Your lot seems to be the ones with the "homo fetish, TGBTG.
"Our science fits well with the existence of homosexuality. That you don't understand that is not surprising.
"If the evo-cult were true, than homos would have long gone extinct. That’s almost reason to wish it were true. Almost."
How generous of you.

Hey, yeah! And howzcome some people are born male? Only the women give birth, so don't that mean only girl babies can come from them?

Actually, homosexuality tends to reach high proportions in dense populations as opposed to sparse ones. It's believed by some that this is an evolutionary response to unsustainable population density in order to limit population growth. If this is true, then it is most certainly the result of evolution, and a beneficial one, at that!

Evo-cultists are on a mission to erase Genesis from the public sphere.
No, we just want to keep it where it belongs. In Bible Studies. It has no science behind it, and as such, should stay out of science class. Or are you willing to teach evolution in Sunday School?
It’s about being able to do anything they want, especially homo behavior.
No, the two are quite independent of each other. However, the reason those of us who practice "homo-behavior" do so is because it's hardwired into us. Just like you practice hetero-behavior. You don't know how to act any differently.
That’s why they have to ignore the fact that all reproduction is between a male and a female.
Human, yes...however we can adopt. Or hire a surrogate. Or just close our eyes and think "man." You seem to think we're a genetic null zone, and I assure you, that's definitely not the case.
Their homo fetish doesn’t fit with their *science* yet they never have an answer as to how homos can exist with it.
No, it's because it's complex. There's an immutable component to it, because most homosexuals knew on some level or another that they have always felt this way. However there are arguments from the nurture side, as well. It's not nearly as cut and dry as you seem to think it is.
If the evo-cult were true, than homos would have long gone extinct.
Have we not heard of a recessive gene? Just as an idea? Mom and Dad don't have to be gay to pass on a homosexual gene. And that's without looking into other theories.
That’s almost reason to wish it were true. Almost.
Awww...how sweet. You wish us to be wiped out...that's so Christlike.
