Is homosexuality natural?

I hope that those who watch this video ( especially those who have not watched my other videos on the subject ) will wait until the end of the video before passing judgment on it. A lot of people are passionate about this issue, and I'm trying to tackle it in a rational non-passionate way. This probably means that I'm going to get slammed by people on both sides of the issue. That's fine, but I hope those that have something negative to say will at least listen to my entire message. Thanks.

The video link below gives some examples about how science is starting to prove that homosexuality is inborn:

@cooksha64 the definition of the word natural is something that occurs in nature, the intended use of the penis is to stick it in the vagina to create new life, but homosexual practices are common in nature, could be population control or could be practice for the real thing in some cases. Or it could be opportunistic. But I see what you are saying.

[cooksha64]

OK......

So you are saying that because homosexuals do not oppose a threat to dominant males and can be trusted to be left with women, that makes homosexuality natural. I am not against gay people and by that I mean that I do not judge a person based on their sexuality, however, being gay is not something that is considered natural, we've been designed to only mate with opposite genders, that's the way our bodies are created.

@cooksha64 yes I do. It is possible that men who displayed homosexual tendencies in a primitive human group would not be considered a threat to the dominant males of that group, so they could be trusted to be left alone with the females in a hunter gatherer situation. It is possible that bisexual males were able to breed with the females quiet successfully, after all, being gay doesn’t mean you don’t want children right?

@jazpyy do you seriously think that homosexuality is natural....... i'll try to put in some biology into what I will tell you, why do people need food? people need food because the glucose stored within the food is broken down by our bodies to release energy for 4 things, growth, muscle contraction, respiration and REPRODUCTION!!!!!! so by having a homosexual lifetyle, do you think that makes it natural.

@painkillerzman New Scientist - "Evolution myths: Natural selection cannot explain homosexuality". Please read, and do a stats course before using stats, it makes you look stupid.

I don't regard being gay as unatural, because it clearly is. But does it make it right?

[jazpyy]

I totally respect this video and am glad to have found it, but when you refer to someone being born blind to someone being gay you are wrong. Being blind is an accident of birth development, just like Siamese twins and other birth defects that are unavoidable, gay is genetically passed down and has been part of human and animal DNA for a very long time. The universe was created out of diversity and imperfections, nature is not perfect and there is diversity present in everything.

@Shadowstar204 1. Considering 100% of births are the direct result of a (female) egg being fertilized by (male) sperm, I'd say this makes homosexuality somewhat contrary to the laws or course of nature (call it supernatural if you will)

2. Animals are "programmed" to reproduce, homosexuality severely reduces the chances of a successful reproduction

3. "A survey of 135,000 [citizens] found that 1.0% of the respondents identified themselves as homosexual and 0.7% identified themselves as bisexual"

@painkillerzman 1. Supernatural/magic 2. Out of character/odd behavior or an unusual routine 3. Statistically unusual, an outlier

Means the EXACT same thing as YOUR dictionary, only worded more ‘common’ for the dumb ppl. I don’t follow how homosexuality meets those conditions. (statistically it is around 10-15% of the pop, hardly an outlier).

It’s clear that you have no understanding of what you are saying. Dogs, birds, dolphins, etc.. have been documented having same sex. LEARN ENGLISH !!!!!!!

@Shadowstar204 Sigh... There are many definitions of the word "unnatural". In this case, the ones that apply to animal behavior are the appropriate ones. This is a direct quote from the dictionary (if you want to argue with the dictionary, good luck.) :

1. contrary to the laws or course of nature. 2. at variance with the character or nature of a person, animal, or plant. 3. at variance with what is normal or to be expected.

Homosexuality applies to all three meanings.
