While I completely agree with the first portion of your post, your last paragraph is pure group selectionism. This has failed every possible model. Meaning that all group selection theories have fallen flat because the data supports natural selection
senso stricto. All presented cases of group selection have been explainable by normal selection processes (Rabbit viruses in Australia, Slime mold research). If homosexuality is genetic it has to be governed by the normal processes of natural selection (which I believe it is).
