Why does homosexuality exist?

I was wondering the other day. Many self-proclaimed homosexuals propose that homosexuality is genetic and that’s just the way they were born. However, if one accepts the naturalist view and man is an evolved beast not a God created one, then why wouldn’t the homosexual gene have been bred out of the species long ago. Homosexuals would not reproduce so that gene should be quickly extinguished.

If, however, homosexuality is a learned behavior, then one would expect there to be homosexuality. Parents get no parental training, they just wing as they go. It is conceivable that some unusual relationship between a child and a parent may predispose that child to preferring members of his own gender as opposed to those of the opposite one.
