Heterosexual cultural norms have dominated throughout most of history, but the growth of Islam brings that dominance into question.
In Islamic countries, heterosexual affection in public is either legally banned or against the mores of the region. For example, several Islamic countries have criminal penalties for public kissing between man and woman. However, its extremely common to see Muslim men holding hands, kissing, or sitting on each others laps.
Furthermore, unnatural separation of the sexes is imposed on the entire society. Islamic community is thus divided into single sex communities. In most Islamic countries, all areas of discourse or movement have this separation in mind, either by literally having separate rooms, or imposing strict norms or laws regarding womans clothing.
The degree to which a community separates the sexes, is the degree to which homosexuality and incest is increased. Like the law of thermodynamics, sexual energy cannot be destroyed, only diverted
