1. I'd argue the majority of humans engage in sexual activities for purposes other then reproduction. That's why we have a contraceptive industry alive and well.
2. If by natural you mean the behavior is seen in animals besides humans, you're dead wrong. Many species are seen engaging in homosexual activities. This generally coincides with their species mating for reasons other then reproduction. Further more to be "natural" by this definition is not necessarily a good thing. Using tools to build other tools isn't "natural" either, nor is creating works of art. We still consider these to be good things. Killing someone to take their land and eating your children when you run out of food are quite natural and seen in millions of species, but we consider these to be bad things.
3. You are dead wrong that homosexuals have no advantage for the human race. The running theory right now is it's an evolutionary adaptation to encourage quality of offspring rather then quantity. You see a homosexual may not reproduce, but they may have siblings and other relations that do. These siblings have similar genes to them including most likely an inactive one that can trigger homosexuality. Therefore a homosexual may not pass on his or her own genes however they can help siblings to find spouses and assist in raising the resulting children thus encouraging the family genes.

Further more even if this doesn't happen homosexuals can benefit the human race in a variety of ways. Given they don't reproduce they are able to be more productive since they don't need to raise children. Alternatively they can choose to adopt, which contrary to popular belief results in well adjusted children, much better off then they would be if they'd been raised in the foster care system.

And if you still can't stand the idea of consenting adults engaging in a sexual activity you personally don't like, think of this, YOU don't have to compete with them. That's right any given time you walk into the bar and see ten guys in terrific shape who you're sure are going to steal all the chicks, good news, one of them is probably gay! That means there's one girl left over for you thanks to homosexuals!
