I think there are a lot of evolutionary reasons for the preservation of homosexuality in the gene pool against what would seem like common sense (that gay people don't reproduce and shouldn't be able to survive). Evolution works in very broad strokes.
IMO bisexuality is the norm and the strong polarity of orientation that we see is accultured. Many people with an admitted history of bisexuality will still call themselves "straight" or "gay" instead of "bisexual". Standards of beauty are also accultured, and among primitive and historical cultures you see much less sex dimorphism (difference in the shape and appearance of males and females), much more fluidity of the genders and much more bisexuality. Until the acceptance of transgender individuals, our culture was somewhat unique in history for its complete lack of a "third gender" role.
Sexual selection must also play a role. IMO sexual orientation isn't a "choice", but it's closer to being one than a lot of LGBT advocates will admit-- this comes back to my assumption that bisexuality is the norm. There is a large practical component involved in one's choice of sexual partners. In other words, one generation might be heterosexual while the next is homosexual due to any number of social-- not genetic-- factors. Furthermore, I think it's mainly social factors that contribute to consistency in sexual preferences as well ("pigeonholing" if you will).
That said, I think the increasing acceptance of homosexuality does reflect the rationalist concern of overpopulation-- since our species recently saw an unprecedented period of exponential reproduction. Imagine, if you will, that a swarm of locusts discovered agriculture, settled down and began having nuclear families-- that's how unprecedented it was. It also seems clear that homosexual bonding has played a very large role in societies throughout history, so it seems reasonable to assume it played a similarly large role in our evolution.
An interesting thing to consider-- rigidly sex-segregated societies often consider homosexuality to be perfectly normal, since it's so easy for one to hide his fuckbuddies at the baths from his spouse. That is not to say there is no homophobia in these societies-- the receptive partner in these societies is always considered subordinate, be they male or female.

I have absolutely no evidence. It just makes sense to me. I just theorize that "nature" makes some of us homosexuals in an attempt to keep the reproduction numbers in check so that we don't breed ourselves into extinction.
Some of you may be thinking "well it's not working so well". That's because mankind hasn't accepted homosexuality completely yet. In fact, I think the rejection of homosexuality is a perversion against nature. Nature made you gay. Stop fighting it by having four kids and a wife to try and look straight. Accept the truth, have some balls and be gay if you were made gay.

Homosexuality has existed since for ever. Its only today that we have given it a the luxury of a pedestal to be loud from.

For anyone who hasn't heard of it, there's the gay uncle syndrome. Homosexuality has been observed in many species so there must be a genetic benefit to having homosexuals, either way it really doesn't matter.

I don't think there necessarily has to be some evolutionary benefit to homosexuality for it to exist.

Yeah that's what I was going to say. It's certainly plausible that there may be some evolutionary benefit to homosexuality, but it does not necessarily follow from the existence of homosexuality that such an evolutionary benefit must exist.

throughout history homosexuals have had more respect in societies, it wasnt until the rise of rise of Christianity, Islam and Judaism that it's been suppressed, on this contenent prior to the settling of the west and near extermination of indians, homosexuals were revered in the first nations, they were allowed to choose a gender role to live like a male or a female, in ancient rome and greece is was seen in a similar light. even in the east, china is well documented as having homosexuals accepted in the culture, thai kings had both male and female lovers and the thai 'ladyboys' have existed for many centuries. even in the middle east it's only thinly veiled
it's because of the suppression by religion that homosexuals are now on that podium
