Homosexuality may well be maladaptive in an evolutionary sense and yet persist for any number reasons (e.g. could be a byproduct of other adaptive traits etc.). That's the respect in which I suggested the conditions might be analogous. I'm surprised you couldn't tell what I meant.

No, it wasn't, but I'm pretty sure you misinterpreted it. I'd never claim that homosexuals are in any way way inferior to heterosexuals, or that they should seek to "cure" their homosexuality. However, what's good for onself (and others) needn't necessarily be good for one's genes.
