Homosexuality is potentially bad for the perpetuation of an individual's genetic line (sexuality is a spectrum, and a percentage if not a majority of homosexual men and women would be open to procreation given a suitable social framework), but for communities, has the potential to be a net positive for survival; for example, it may reduce competition for procreative mating partners, and provide childless adults who can share rearing responsibilities. In fact, one could say that the benefits of such an alternate sexuality were so recognized that some societies sought to produce it artificially through the creation of eunuchs.
