(If a cataclysm occurred and there was no way for the human species to continue to reproduce by scientific intervention, they'd just start reproducing with females, or their genes won't survive. That's the reason for sexual reproduction.)

It's natural to be heterosexual.
What????

A homosexual is a homosexual is a homosexual. No matter what I do with my penis, I'm still a homosexual. Even if I decided to reproduce with a woman, I'd still be a homosexual. The choice to have sex with a woman would in no way whatsoever make me attracted to women - it would not change my sexuality.

You're right - it is natural to be heterosexual. It's also natural to be homosexual. Both are natural variants of life.

Same sex behavior is not immutable. Human reproduction, which is sex between male and female in which an egg and sperm are united is immutable and natural.

If one believes homosexuality is not a choice and the statistic of homosexuals is that they are 10% of the population is accurate...

Then they are a natural occurance...just with less frequency as heterosexuals.

No sex behavior is immutable - people have free will. But we're not discussing sex behavior - we're discussing sexuality.

And yes - egg+sperm=baby is natural. So is homosexuality.

Homosexuals and heterosexuals - 2 perfectly normal, natural variants of life.

It's natural to be homosexual too. If homosexuality were unnatural, it wouldn't be prevelant in over 450+ animal species. Some of which have more homosexuals than hetero.

You go first. This is your thread. Protocol demands it.

I get along with gays. I don't view them as "broken" or "maladjusted." It's really no one's business what happens between consenting adults.
