How do you know reproduction is the sole point of evolution, when I pointed
out to a book which quite successfully explains that this assumption is as
best incomplete, at worst completely flawed.

There have been enough posts explaining that homosexuality probably was
advantageous for the survival of the species as a whole (which is what's
important, not the survival of some selected line of individuals). As such,
it could be seen as similar to the specialisation of some insect species
where 95% of the population is actually sterile. Yet nobody ever claimed it
was an evolutionary disadvantage.
