I was the first post on page 100 with how I view the pages, and I think I am viewing on normal?

It's because non-straights like feeling intellectually superior to other people.

Yay, 100th page! We can be friends again!
I'm not intellectually superior, I'm evolutionarily inferior :P

Since having sex with the same gender does not allow you to pass on your genes what-so-ever, I have no idea how it's an evolutionary advantage. I guess you mean you have some sort of natural ability to have more fun, but honestly I doubt that's true.

It's been postulated that homosexuality is essentially an evolutionary austerity measure. Once the population reaches a certain point, growth has to slow to prevent over-consumption of resources, which would have eventually wiped out a small monkey tribe or forced them to migrate into potentially hostile lands.

I see, that's very interesting. But with modern birth control methods, a straight person can easily avoid having children. Also I'm pretty sure that the gene that influences male homosexuality also induces a man who has its female relatives to have a higher sex drive. This means that although you will be helping avoid overpopulation, you sisters will undo your good work.

You know how being poisonous for a frog has absolutely no benefit whatsoever for the singular frog, yet makes all predators wary of the entire species? It's a quasi-acceptable analogy, but the same genes present in humans that account for sexuality diverse and "norm" are all also passed down. It's beneficial for the entire species. Loads of theories as to how, most revolving around an increased capacity to care for hetero/bi peoples of the same sex (Achilles!).
Otherwise within a single generation, there'd be 0 gay, bi, trans or what ever in between or beyond on Earth. Just the hetero humans making babies.
And clearly, that's not true.

Stupid of a few days ago:
Everybody is watching a movie on TV, when suddenly the subtitles dissapear. No problem, i can understand english.
A few minutes later my  brother says: "Cant you turn the subtitles back on?"

...And that is stupid why?

Seems very far fetched to me. Much more reasonable to apply Occham's Razor and realise that 1, Nothing stops gay men from having sex with women, and 2, The concept of "pure" homosexuality is a recent cultural idea, meaning that they would have been under very high pressure to do so.

Evolutionary time scales are never going to be able to keep up with human adaption, hence no obvious reaction to birth control. Besides, not everyone has sisters.

Because women with the gay male gene are more interested in having sex with men, the gene for male homosexuality is passed on. Hence why they don't all just die out.
