Homosexuality is not "normal," but it is in the interest of community and social cohesion that their sexual habits be tolerated
Most credible hypothesis on male homosexuality is that it originates and multiplies through molestation. If true, you can't tolerate homosexual behaviors without the children suffering for it.
What are ya gonna do, put homos in re-conditioning camps? They must be tolerated simply because there's so damn many of them. And if every homosexual is the result of being sexually abused as a child, there must be an awful lot of molestation going on.
Which leads to the alternative hypothesis that it is an malign adaptation to insufficient maternal/paternal attention, or trauma as a result of negligence. The quickest way to check the validity of this hypothesis would be to examine children known to come from negligent homes, regardless of sibling count, and compare homosexuality rates with a control population of non-negligent homes.

I'm skeptical of the hypothesis.
It's fair to be skeptical of the hypothesis, it's just a hypothesis. As for molestation rates, it's bad.
And no, gay camps wouldn't be productive. I meant cultural tolerance.
The best-established correlate of male homosexuality is how many boys occupied your mother's womb before you, whether you were raised together or not.

I've also read something related to motherhood.
