Is This a Theory?

Arguing from a biological approach, the theory of natural selection eliminates all characteristics that do not allow a species to sustain its existence. If the trait of homosexuality is in fact inherited through our genetic makeup, it does not support the natural process of reproduction, which states, only a man and a woman are able to procreate. Consequently, this trait would be eliminated in the genes of humans over time. Moreover, the genetic trait of homosexuality would not become exponentially more common; it would gradually be eliminated, making homosexuals less prevalent in today’s society. In this light, homosexuality cannot be inherited through our genetic makeup according to the theory of natural selection; they are not fit to survive/ sustain their existence. If we are to reject the premise of homosexuality being an inborn quality, then we must resort to the application of the learning principle- homosexuality is the result of socialization.
