Do you believe that just because something occurs naturally in animals it is natural for humans?

I hear the argument all the time from homosexuals that, being gay is "natural". They come up with clever memes, and try to ridicule those of us who dare suggest that being homosexual is indeed not "natural" for humans. Ever see stuff like this?

homosexuality occurs in nature

Consider this:

Dogs have been known to hump legs. Does this mean that inter-species sex is "natural" and should be practiced by humans?

Many animals eat their offspring. Does this mean it is normal and natural to cannibalize our children?

Most species impregnate the woman then leave. Is that normal for humans? (some might think so)

Many species have huge litters, yet when humans do it is national news.

Incest among animals occurs at least as often if not more often than homosexuality in animals. Yet ask any homosexual if incest is OK. they will never say, 450 species of animals think incest is ok, only one has incestaphobia, who is the freak now?

Lions have one male to a harem of women. Yet many homosexuals ridicule and despise polygamous religions.




Tell me again that because it occurs in nature its normal and natural for humans.

    Notice the word "natural" in the picture.

    If it occurs in nature it is "natural" yes, that is what "natural" means. I see that mostly as an argument against it being "unnatural". Since my homosexuality came about naturally, it is natural--there is no doubt about it. Now, "normal"? Well, "normal" means "common" in the most general sense and since homosexuality isn't common, it isn't normal. But just because something isn't "the norm" doesn't mean it's bad.

    Aggressiveness is part of the human being, and it's something that must be controlled. However, homosexuality and bisexuality are not harmful (If you think otherwise, please bring accurate examples of harm).

    Plus, as much as the Human Being is (at times) rational, he is an animal nonetheless.

    Some things that are natural must be stopped. But homosexuality and bisexuality aren't any of those.

    Warning: long-ish response
    Some things are and some things aren't. Humans have different biology and sociology. We usually have 1 or 2 kids to a litter. Our bodies aren't used to huge litters, so of course that's national news. Runaway dads and polygamy are more common in animals possibly because offspring don't have a high probability of surviving so many matings are needed to assure survival of the fathers genes. We have family units that offer more protection possibly because of our small number of offspring. Elephants are a lot like us in that perspective. on incest: Lemurs, mice, and Hyenas are like us in that they avoid it. Incest is likely viewed so negatively because of the way it messes up the genes. The aforementioned animals have inborn ways of avoiding mating with family unless in dire straights. To the point: All animal species differ in behavior because of brain functions, biological complexity, etc. Just because it's natural to one animal doesn't really mean it translates to another species. People can end up Homosexual, that's a fact. Scientifically speaking, it's all nuerochemistry. They really are homosexual. It is an undeniable part of them. It's part of their brain. So yes it's as natural to be gay as it is to be straight.

    Our children are being taught to accept homosexuality as normal instead of condemning it as the vile, disgusting, evil, depraved perversion that it is. We must fight back, teach people the truth about this sickness infecting out society. I would rather have gay marriage than have schools teaching children that it is okay to be gay. But my preference would be to outlaw all manifestations of homosexuality.

    Homosexuality is natural is the sense that there has always been a small percentage of humans that have a same sex orientation. There have been homosexuals in every tribe, civilization, and society throughout recorded history.

    That said who cares? I'm making a very technical answer to your question but Marriage Equality is only an issue to people who should spend more time worrying about their own 'morality' than other people's.

    Yeah... and how many species of "animals" murder tens of thousands (stop), hundreds of thousands of their fellow beings for greed, power or religious reasons?

    Who are the "advanced" ones again? ;-)

    I think organized religion has caused and causes more harm than any persons of the LGBT community.

    People love who they love. Why any one would deny people that is just beyond me.

    There is no need for you to agree with how they live their lives but there is also no need to keep people from having equal rights. I'm pretty sure that is in the US constitution. Yet, many "different" people are not treated the same. I know plenty of homosexual and heterosexual people who make great parents. I also know of plenty who don't. So, that argument is out.

    Is that because so many people are narcissists? Or, is it because the fear of what you don't understand is so great? Or, perhaps it is simply you wish to control others lives and make people fit into your idea of what is "proper".

    Why do you care so much? People are born gay, just because you cant accept it doesn't mean it isn't true. There are people who don't believe in god, doesn't make him any less real in your opinion. I just don't understand why people who are support of equal rights can still justify being so hateful towards gay people. Let them live their life, their choices are not yours and your choices are not theirs

    That it is natural is not exactly the whole point. The point also being made there is that the instinctive feeling of sexual attraction is not a "choice". Since when have you ever stopped to look at someone and take the time to ask yourself..., now, am I sexually attracted to that person? Or, can I make myself be sexually attracted to that person? No. It was just something you felt, and you had no control over it, did you?

    They use the excuse that it is a "choice" as a reason why they think there should be laws that discriminate against the LGBTQ community. Although I agree with your point that people should have freedom of choice and not be judged, sexual leanings are not a "choice" and that is the best defense for the LGBTQ community.

    Of course. Human beings are nothing more than a higher form of cockroach. They adapt to their surroundings. Just like global climate change, which they cause and they adapt to it with AC or snowblowers and they just keep birthin' babies into the cess pool they have created.

    So why would anyone be against homosexuality because it's natural for animals? But - if you can't understand that, it's because you are a cockroach with no sense of humanity or caring for others or the planet.

    Your points are invalid seeing as how it depends on the species of animal. And all the things that are natural for other animals, but aren't for people. Well, all those animals have a reason doing those things. It's part of their survival. Homosexuality is natural, but not normal.

    Hopefully humans have gotten beyond the point of killing and eating their rival's young! Dogs hump each other in displays of dominance, nothing sexual about it. Huge human litters are not 'normal', they usually involve fertility drugs. Mating for life, some animals do and some don't. I say if you find someone, anyone, that you want to spend the rest of your life with, count your blessings.

    The problem with your argument is that those are all different, unrelated issues. To compare the abnormality of same-sex attraction to bestiality, the act of eating infants or incest as if they're morally or intellectually equivalent is absurd.

    It is normal because it exists.
    Normal doesn't mean right or wrong but it certainly happens.

    If it is a result of nature or nurture is debatable.
    We can't deny that gay people are here.
    But however it happens these are people with their desires and abilities.
    What they do doesn't affect what I do, so I think being oppressive to others is more about some of our internal fears than any legitimate reason.

    Let me start by saying, do you know where the word natural came from? This question is redundant because what happens in nature is NATURAL. People don't choose to be gay, straight, or any other sexual orientation.

    Worms are asexual creatures, who can change their gender and have sex and reproduce with the same sex. There are boa constrictors who can make clones of themselves and give VIRGIN births ). Along with other animals who are of the male sex that carry and give birth to offspring. Sounds "unnatural" right? That's nature.
