AJ,

This is a question that logically doesn't work. How would one prove that any sexual orientation is natural? It is also not necessary to prove anything. Those who wish to say that being gay is unnatural are the one who have the burden to prove their point, not us.

As for me personally, the desire to have an intimate relationship with another guy is strong. The desire to have an intimate relationship with a woman is zero. It comes naturally. I didn't choose it. It is just there. That is the proof that I need.

If you are speaking from a Biblical perspective, the same also applies. You can't prove that homosexuality is unnatural or sinful. The Bible doesn't say that it is. Also the old argument, "It's sinful because the Bible doesn't say it is OK." doesn't logically work either. Then everything in the universe would be sinful if the Bible didn't mention it.

AJ,

Start by giving us a definition of terms. What is "homosexuality" and what is "natural" You define those two things and I will take a stab at answering the question "why is homosexuality natural" Deal?

One of the most obvious reasons I think is that I just didn't wake up one day and consciously decide to be gay.

I was struck by a beautiful young woman and immediately knew I was in love and then wondered how in the hell that could happen to a "supposedly" straight, married, 27 year old, 8 month pregnant woman?

I know it is natural, because having sex with a man was always embarrassing to me, and never felt right, but oh my God, when she touched me, I knew what was right and everything was answered for me.

That is just me...I can't answer it from a scientific viewpoint.:)

And those who say it is a choice, I wonder if they chose to be hetero?

AJLove, I'm assuming you want scientific evidence. Although that's not a necessary source of evidence for a lot of people, some people do need or want that type of evidence. Now, I'm not a scientist, but I do recollect that there have been studies of homosexual behavior in animals, and it seems to occur in the animals' natural environment. No precipitating event... just a naturally occurring way of expressing sexuality in the course of life for the animals (I'm thinking of the study involving mice... anyone feel free to correct me if I've mis-cited it).

And I believe there are ongoing studies about possible genetic insights into homosexuality in humans, but I'm not as familiar with those.

But I can also relate to the experiential side... it's just natural for me to be attracted to a woman. I can't tell you exactly why I don't want to have a relationship or even a sexual encounter with a man... and frankly I don't think I should have to explain why or why not. It just is. I just am attracted to women. Period. I wish we could let it rest at that. But unfortunately there are still so many skeptics out there, that people still need scientific evidence (and sometimes that's not enough!) to believe that homosexuality is okay.

Can you list th reasons why homosexuality and is natural and why.

Thank You,

I can only refer to the fact that other mammals are also homosexual.

If it were a choice or unnatural, then animals, whom can not think about sexual orientation, much less be thought to have chosen their sexuality would all be straight. Therefore, logically, the fact that animals are homosexual also leads us to believe that it is completely natural.

We must also conclude that that it is a genetic variation of some type. Now, we must ask ourselves why is that genetic variation out there? Not only that but before anyone freaks out on the "genetic variation theory" please remember that being left handed is also a genetic variation and they can't seem to find the gene for that nor can they pinpoint exactly why it has occurred.!

Nature = noun

Natural = adjective referring to the noun, Nature

Acting in accordance with your nature is by definition natural.

If your nature is to be attracted to the same sex, then making love to the same sex is going with your nature and therefore natural behavior for you.

If your nature is not to be attracted to the opposite sex, then making love to the opposite sex is going against your nature and therefore unnatural behavior for you.

Shouldn't this be an obvious given?:rolleyes:
