If homosexuality wasn't natural, it wouldn't be seen in nature. Since homosexuality has been documented in several species of animals, it is natural.

Just because the human genome has been mapped, does not mean that they know what every gene does, or how they might interact with each other. There is also no hetero gene found.
Animals are not moral creatures. The fact that they may choose to engage in homosexual behavior does not mean that it is natural for human beings to do likewise.

Once again, and as you agreed, no gene has been identified that ingrains such a trait.

Until one is found(which it won't) the claim that homosexuality is somehow "natural" and not a choice cannot be taken seriously.

Sexual preference is a choice, and the moral choice is the one that promotes procreation and family - heterosexuality.

All the OP has to do is argue why this is a misguided claim - instead they choose to engage in ad hominem attacks.

It is a typical liberal tactic and one reason why some liberals are met with so much disdain on this forum.
Why are you conflating two very different types of intolerance? It's one thing to be intolerant when it comes to beliefs or viewpoints. For instance, I'm not tolerant of somebody who thinks Jews should be exterminated. It's another thing to be intolerant of somebody's sexuality, or skin color, or gender, or their handedness, or their blindness, etc - you know, immutable, biological characteristics.

Tolerance is not the same as acceptance.

Well how can homosexuality be a "preference or a choice" when they can put hormones in juice box membranes and make you one?

Are you assuming our juice is being tainted unless proven otherwise? That's a tall order.

I never said that such a thing is possible.
