It's always been natural. Humans have been having homosexual sex since our species first evolved.
First of all we didn't evolve. That is what is wrong with this sociaty. I don't know about you, but I didn't come from some ape. We were created in God's likeness.
I also didn't read anything in the bible about Adam and Eve and their encounters with gay people.
Please, don't equate your specific view of morality with the definition of "normal". Your myopic view of what is right and what is wrong does not constitute normalcy.
Do you think your parents relationship was normal?
The one thing that does get my ire is the fact that the government and schools are making "tolerance" of gender challenged people such an issue in the schools. Just like religious topics should not be part of the educational curriculum, personal values should not be part of the educational curriculum. These are family topics - The family has the rights to guide their children through their personal life - not the government nor anyone else.
First, what do you mean by "gender challenged"? Gay men know that they are male; lesbians know that they are female.
Secondly, you go right ahead and teach your children whatever you think is right. But when intolerance leads to bullying in schools, that school district better have a curriculum in place to deal with it. And that is all the tolerance classes are about - teaching children that it is NOT "okay" to bully anyone for any reason.
Among the benefits of healthy loving in a relationship: 1. Sex Relieves Stress
A big health benefit of sex is lower blood pressure and overall stress reduction, according to researchers from Scotland who reported their findings in the journal Biological Psychology. They studied 24 women and 22 men who kept records of their sexual activity. Then the researchers subjected them to stressful situations -- such as speaking in public and doing verbal arithmetic -- and noted their blood pressure response to stress.
Those who had intercourse had better responses to stress than those who engaged in other sexual behaviors or abstained.
Another study published in the same journal found that frequent intercourse was associated with lower diastolic blood pressure in cohabiting participants. Yet other research found a link between partner hugs and lower blood pressure in women. 2. Sex Boosts Immunity
Good sexual health may mean better physical health. Having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or IgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other infections. Scientists at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., took samples of saliva, which contain IgA, from 112 college students who reported the frequency of sex they had.
Those in the "frequent" group -- once or twice a week -- had higher levels of IgA than those in the other three groups -- who reported being abstinent, having sex less than once a week, or having it very often, three or more times weekly. 3. Sex Burns Calories
Thirty minutes of sex burns 85 calories or more. It may not sound like much, but it adds up: 42 half-hour sessions will burn 3,570 calories, more than enough to lose a pound. Doubling up, you could drop that pound in 21 hour-long sessions.
"Sex is a great mode of exercise," says Patti Britton, PhD, a Los Angeles sexologist and president of the American Association of Sexuality Educators and Therapists. It takes work, from both a physical and psychological perspective, to do it well, she says. 4. Sex Improves Cardiovascular Health
While some older folks may worry that the efforts expended during sex could cause a stroke, that's not so, according to researchers from England. In a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, scientists found frequency of sex was not associated with stroke in the 914 men they followed for 20 years.
And the heart health benefits of sex don't end there. The researchers also found that having sex twice or more a week reduced the risk of fatal heart attack by half for the men, compared with those who had sex less than once a month. 5. Sex Boosts Self-Esteem
Boosting self-esteem was one of 237 reasons people have sex, collected by University of Texas researchers and published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
That finding makes sense to Gina Ogden, PhD, a sex therapist and marriage and family therapist in Cambridge, Mass., although she finds that those who already have self-esteem say they sometimes have sex to feel even better. "One of the reasons people say they have sex is to feel good about themselves," she tells WebMD. "Great sex begins with self-esteem, and it raises it. If the sex is loving, connected, and what you want, it raises it." 6. Sex Improves Intimacy
Having sex and orgasms increases levels of the hormone oxytocin, the so-called love hormone, which helps us bond and build trust. Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of North Carolina evaluated 59 premenopausal women before and after warm contact with their husbands and partners ending with hugs. They found that the more contact, the higher the oxytocin levels.
"Oxytocin allows us to feel the urge to nurture and to bond," Britton says.
Higher oxytocin has also been linked with a feeling of generosity. So if you're feeling suddenly more generous toward your partner than usual, credit the love hormone. 7. Sex Reduces Pain
As the hormone oxytocin surges, endorphins increase, and pain declines. So if your headache, arthritis pain, or PMS symptoms seem to improve after sex, you can thank those higher oxytocin levels.
In a study published in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 48 volunteers who inhaled oxytocin vapor and then had their fingers pricked lowered their pain threshold by more than half.
I am sure anal sex doesnt reduce pain.
8. Sex Reduces Prostate Cancer Risk
Frequent ejaculations, especially in 20-something men, may reduce the risk of prostate cancer later in life, Australian researchers reported in the British Journal of Urology International. When they followed men diagnosed with prostate cancer and those without, they found no association of prostate cancer with the number of sexual partners as the men reached their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
But they found men who had five or more ejaculations weekly while in their 20s reduced their risk of getting prostate cancer later by a third.
Another study, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that frequent ejaculations, 21 or more a month, were linked to lower prostate cancer risk in older men, as well, compared with less frequent ejaculations of four to seven monthly.
9. Sex Helps You Sleep Better
The oxytocin released during orgasm also promotes sleep, according to research.
And getting enough sleep has been linked with a host of other good things, such as maintaining a healthy weight and blood pressure. Something to think about, especially if you've been wondering why your guy can be active one minute and snoring the next.
Yea, anal sex is good for you immunity?
Physical damage to the rectum and anus can manifest as generalized ano-rectal trauma, hemorrhoids, anal fissures,[33] and rectal prolapse. An insufficient amount of lubricant can make it especially painful or injurious.[40] Damage is more likely if intercourse is forcible or aggressive, if alcohol or other drugs have dulled sensitivity, if communication is poor, or if technique is clumsy.
but you don't california had a prop 8 and californians vote was no to gay marriage.why don't you respect their choise and leave it alone.miss california had her view and you didn't respect it.if gays want equality shouldn't you respect the views of equal people and move on.and devirsity i have lived in usa for ten years and devirsity is one way street all the time.minority is always right and mijority is always wrong.maybe gays should go out there and fight diversity so it is not one ways street anymore
You seem to be confusing disagreement with lack of respect. I can accept and respect the fact that Californians voted for Prop 8 - I don't have to agree with it. I can respect the fact that Carrie Prejean has her views on homosexuality - I don't happen to agree with her views. And I simply cannot understand anyone who would "fight against diversity".

I'm sure that by "procrastinate" you mean "procreate" but you are still wrong. Several of my nieces and nephews procreated before they were married. Two of my brothers and one of my sons are married to women with whom they never had plans to procreate. Point being that neither procreation nor marriage is dependent upon the other.
They can't both be natural! If homosexuality was "natural" and everyone on earth was one, humans would die out eventually.
Well, considering that homosexuals have been a pretty constant percentage of human population throughout millennium, I'd say we don't have to worry about "everyone on Earth" being homosexual, do we?

Take another look at that and tell me where it specifies "heterosexual sex" because I don't see that in there. This is a list of the benefits of a sexual relationship, period.
