Do you really want to legitimise deviant forms of human behaviour by saying "well, other animals do it"?
Wow, you're good at selective reading. You managed to miss that it wasn't claiming "being gay is OK because it's natural", but rather a refutation of the claim "being gay is bad because it's unnatural".

Desiring to murder someone isn't a crime. Acting on that desire is a crime, not because it is natural or unnatural, but because it violates another's rights.
Didn't chose my sexual orientation, near as I can recall.
Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

The Nedaverse I can accept, but not the Berzaverse. There can only be so many alternate realities. -- Elok
since heterosexuality and homosexuality are both sexual orientations, one cannot be a choice and the other not -- if you insist that homosexuality is a choice, then heterosexuality must be a choice as well.
Conveniently neglects my argument.
You don't get to choose the attractions.
Whether you act on the attractions or not is an entirely different matter.
So tell us your story -- what day did you wake up one morning and decided that you would choose to be a flamboyant straight person??
I've always felt attracted to women, but I have yet to act on those feelings to their fullest extent.

Man is the only species with advanced reasoning abilities; the ability to make decisions, to choose.
If other animals are known to exhibit seeming homosexual behavior, does that not indicate that it's not a choice, but rather a mindset with which one is born ?

Yeah, yeah. ****ing redneck Texan hicks.
I'm going to stop making points in your damned behalf.
You misread my post -- I was not insulted by your original post with your point.

I really get tired of this blatant fallicious argument in lumping homosexuals in the same group with criminals when homosexuals.
I also get tired of the dehumanizing, degrading, obsessive, reductionist focus on the sex act that is only a part of an intimate, loving relationship between two people.

I think the argument can be made that an uncontrollable attraction to children is similar to an uncontrollable attraction to members of one's own gender...
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
