[quote=@Penny] Been a while since anthropology class, but I'm pretty sure extended families are much more the norm throughout all of human history. [/quote] You are quite right about extended families being the norm, I was hasty with my earlier words but even if they are extended they are still based on heterosexual relationships. Multi-generational households were/are indeed the norm, kinda forgot for a moment nuclear excluded the grandparents and such XD. I don't believe in the evolutionary model myself as I find concrete evidence severely lacking, I was just using the example for debate. If anything I think humanity has essentially been breaking down genetically over the generations though our technology has helped us cope with that. By no means am I advocating for homosexuality to be illegal, but homosexuals also have to accept the fact that religious people have rights as well, it is a two way street. Also race is a completely different issue, race is genetic, while homosexuality may or may not be genetic homosexual activity is up to the person.
