That's not true. animals have paths that they use every day. Birds migrate, the same way every year. Many elk, deer, Wildebeests, Bison migrate on the same paths, every year. Birds build nests, gopher turtles dig holes, Bears use caves, as do Bats.
Sorry let me clarify. The environment never selected for asphalt and concrete roads and houses. The materials we use to build infrastructure and shelter are directly harmful to the environment yet we don't seem to care. It's only when two men or women are getting it on that people seem to care about "natural".

Good lord, can you read? I've explained myself 3 or 4 times already and you're still making ignorant assumptions. How much more blunt do I need to be?

I have to ask if the people who keep saying no one is afraid of homosexuals have read the numerous posts that provide the definition of homophobia on this thread.

I know exactly what homophobia means, I don't buy in to the definition that the homosexual community has tried their damnedest to create for the word.

You've explained you view homosexuality as wrong and unnatural, but haven't given a reason why as far as I can tell. If you have, I have missed it and it would be helpful if you could repeat it again.

I don't view any of that as unnatural and I see where you're heading but you're wrong. A woman that doesn't want kids is perfectly natural and that's her choice. The female body was designed or evolved to give birth and the male body was designed or evolved to produce sperm which is needed to fertilize a female's egg. Basic biology and science dictates that homosexuality in humans is unnatural. A straight couple who don't want to have kids is no big deal, that's a choice and has nothing to do with biology. I don't care if people want to be in a relationship or not, that has nothing to do with this conversation. People who choose not to have sex also has nothing to do with this conversation.'

Using common sense and the most basic knowledge of biology and physiology it's pretty clear that homosexuality in humans is unnatural.
Unnatural based on what? How is that not viewing homosexuality as based on the inability to reproduce?

Do you buy into the definition of xenophobia and ephebiphobia?

in my mind. there are 2 forms of homosexuality. one that you choose to be homosexexual, and another which involves a hormone imbalance. i feel that their shouldnt be a fear towards either type. but fundamentaly homosexuality is unnatural, and if one is homosexual, that they should find help. be that through psychology or a medical doctor

Should people who have a desire to shave and wear nailpolish also seek help? Shaving and nailpolish are unnatural. After all, our nails evolved to breathe, and we evolved to have body hair in order to keep warm.

I view homosexuality as unnatural because it goes against the natural design or evolution of the human body. Whether a person reproduces or not doesn't matter to me, that's their choice. I'm simply talking about the physical aspects of the male and female body are designed in ways that compliment each other whereas a male and male or female and female body do not. Whether homosexuality is something that is chosen or something that a person is born with doesn't matter to me, I'm only talking about the physical design of the human species.
