Popularity still doesn't equal truth.

It'd be nice if you would recognize this.

Because one is the truth and the other is a bald faced lie.

Saying homosexuality is not natural is a bald face lie.

No matter what the idiotic majority thinks.

It would be nice if you used common sense when figuring out what is natural. It would also be nice if you recognized that the opinion of small minority doesn't equal truth.

What unnatural force is causing homosexuality in humans and other species of animal?

That isn't opinion.

It's cold hard fact based upon the observances of nature.

Sorry, it occurs in nature, therefore it is natural.

Saying otherwise is a lie.

They bend the rules of nature to suit their desires, what is natural for a animal does not make it natural for a human, a human's brain works on being able to reason and animals work on instinct and that makes a big difference but they don't get it.

Does homosexuality exist in humans?

If yes, what unnatural force causes it?

It is a biased personal opinion. You have no idea what natural means. Is it natural to be born without hands and legs? You can argue it is natural and normal because it happens in nature, but you come out sounding as silly as you are now, because everyone knows a normal human being has hands and legs. You are simply trying to twist things around to fit your own personal opinion.

It is also silly to accuse people of lying when they do not agree with your view.

What does normal have to do with natural?

What color are your hair and eyes?
