The fact is they both exist. It is not a question of if they can, they do! So yes they can.
Do people in their small minded and corrupted minds accept that they exist? That is a different question. Man always tries to rebel against nature. You cannot fight it. You cannot outsmart it, bend it twist it or break it.
You can only understand it and try to work with it to produce an end result that is respectful and fair to both humans and nature.

My opinion?
Only a fool would base his identity on being in opposition to something. I think while many may feel passionate about what they believe, I think the number that let those beliefs actually define who they are as being marginal.
Also, I really can't see the analogy so clearly as regards sexual preference to political ideology. I certainly think heterosexuality is a definite by-product of nature and would exist absolutely.
The political differences, on the other hand, are merely labels, and certainly make defining those characteristics easier. That said, I feel that supporting or believing in what one might would exist regardless. Even if the labels didn't.
My two cents anyway.
Can heterosexuality exist without homosexuality, can one be right-wing whithout the left-wing?

What a load of crap!!!!!! First off, the word "heterosexuality" itself, already is redundant 'cos MALE and FEMALE genders NATURALLY complete each other. Period. Life and species existence, spin around and depending on the MALE and FEMALE interaction. It's a CLOSE CIRCLE. "Homosexuality" doesn't exist, 'cos DOESN'T EXIST a third gender. The behavior of gays and lesbians is DISTORTION OF PERSONALITY. No matter how stupid theories and excuses they invent to justify the fact they don't accept the natural way the things are. Actually they hate the magnificent thing the MALE/FEMALE relationship is. The amazing and unequalled energy that flows between a man and a woman. The sexual act between a man and a woman, is the holy grail, it's a cosmic travel, it's the growth of the spirit, MAINLY if there is love among the couple. There's nothing like that. Anything in opposite side of this joy fountain, has failed as human being.
My main argument here stems from the structuralist interest in binaries, or opposed dichotomies. Taking their cue from Saussure and the French collective of 1960's structuralsists, some see society as a system of difference. That means an identity or topic only exists because it is different from others.
The behavior of gays and lesbians is DISTORTION OF PERSONALITY.

You might as well say, "can this completely necessary function of biology that maintains the continuity of the species exist without this unnecessary hedonistic activity."
It makes no sense at all.
That's like saying "could breathing exist without sniffing airplane glue?" Yeah, some people might get off on sniffing airplane glue, but it's not the way you were intended to use your lungs.
