    I think homosexuality is unnatural, but of all the homosexual people I've ever met I've never treated them any differently ...

    We've been over this time and again and there's no point covering old ground, but it has been pointed out by several posters - me included - on various homosexuality threads that:

    1. There is evidence of a genetic 'cause' of homosexuality. It isn't conclusive, but then nor is any evidence the other way.
    2. Plenty of animal species exhibit homosexual behaviour.
    3. Homosexuality has existed in pretty much every known human society - even those that repress it violently.
    4. Sexual orientation is not a 'choice'
    5. Sexuality is far too complex to explain just in terms of straight/gay/bi. They're all different aspects of the same thing.
    6. Homosexual behaviour doesn't involve anything that straight people don't do between the sheets as well.

    And so on, and so on.

    Homosexuality is IMO a variation in the species as 'natural' as red hair or left-handedness.

    But anyway...

    If you like. You'd also have to then include fascism, communism, anarchism etc. This is why drawing a distinction between "natural" and "unnatural" isn't very helpful.

    I actually tend to agree (I think) that human beings are too complex too say whether something is natural or unnatural. You may be able to say its natural for Salmon to return to their spawning grounds, but human beings - who are both capable of indendent thought and have been socialised since birth are probably a bit more complex.

    If it makes things less complicated...I believe we humans are not natural to this planet. We were brought here from somewhere else and we're fucking things up =P
