Would it be natural for us to cannibalize each other? It occurs in nature, so it must be natural for us too.
Laying eggs occurs in nature, but it would not be natural for a human to.

Homosexuality occurs naturally in humans, so, it is natural.

Is it normal? There are a variety of definitions for "normal".

So, yes, it is also normal.

Not sure why this is such a controversial topic.

Animals do not reason, humans do animals work on instinct and those are facts. Also animals are not exempt of a mental disorder.
I am dog sitting my brother in laws dog, which is male. I have a female husky myself and she has been neutered. For two days I have been wondering why my female dog humps the male dog. Apparently it is natural, and has nothing to do with sex, but with domination and establishing leadership.

Does that mean that human females should dry-hump the legs of males they think they can dominate? Why not if it is natural? Although homosexuality occurs in nature, it has nothing to do with sex, so it is a horribly weak argument to say it is natural in people because it occurs in nature.

It's based upon fact.

Many, many species exhibit homosexuality in nature.

It exists in nature.

Therefore, it is natural.
Like cannibalism?

The question is not "Should we act on it because it's natural?"
The real point to it is just because it may be natural for an animal it does not mean it is natural for a human. Our brains do not compare.

Already tackled that. Yes, like cannibalism.

Feeling like a broken record.

The question is: "Is it natural?" not "SHould we do it because it's natural?"

Does homosexuality occur naturally in humans?

Human and animal brains actually do compare, but I don't think that I have the patience to explain that to you

Again, the question is "Is it natural", not "Is it okay to do because it's natural".
What might be natural for a beaver, might not be natural for humans. Is that hard to understand? It is not natural for people to cannibalize. Animals use homosexual behaviour for nonsexual purposes, so to argue that its ok for humans if it is ok for animals. We are not animals, so why behave like animals?
