Seems like the "harem" phenomenon might have something to do with it.
The strongest males claiming all the women for themselves.
Leaves a bunch of males with no sexual outlet and a bunch of women with only one between them.
Over thousands of generations, a homosexual "option" for those not getting any or enough may serve to strengthen a social animal as a species, if not as an individual.
Doesn't much animal homosexuality manifest when population densities are high or male/female ratios are severely out of balance?
That is entirely possible. While there is a lot of speculation on why homosexuality has survived evolutionary processes, it is manifestly certain that it has. Your idea is as good as any.
