We like to form part of the crowd - to belong. Humans also like to experiment (especially when they are affluent and don't know what to do with their time : - ). Experimentation will also occur when persons of the opposite sex are not available. The danger is we pass on values to the next generation. For the new generation their parent's values forms the frame of reference on which they build their own edifice.

I still fail to understand why passing acceptance of homosexuality to
the next generations means the end of the world (as I think you are
implying). There were several civilizations were some forms homosexual
relationships were accepted and even stimulated, like ancient Greece
or many tribes of Papua/New Guinea until the 70's. The Italy of the
Renaissance seems to have been kind of permissive too. And those
civilizations did not collapse because of that.
