btw, evidence or no evidence supporting gay orientation does not change the fact that i have no problem with gay people. im jus curious since im very much into science and just learning about different kinds of people.

Define "natural". The fact that we are animals, and that we "do" it (or are it, perhaps more accurately) ought to mean that of course it's natural. In lieu of a definition of said word, I will say that there are a TON of other animal species that also exhibit homosexual behavior; many have individuals that are exclusively homosexual.

Well, this behavior has been documented throughout history - it's not a new phenomenon at all. The only difference nowadays is that society is more tolerant and more people dare to act on their true sexual orientation.
And more importantly, most gay people find it impossible to change their orientation even if they fervently want to. Just imagine yourself fervently wanting to become gay - it doesn't work.
I don't know about animals, but humans are different from animals in many ways, and reproduction is not the most important issue in human life: if there is a straight couple that remain childless then is it an unnatural relationship?

I think the problem is there are no truly convincing scientific evidences that being gay is natural or not. There are different evidences from both sides and still debating.

Natural, yes there's plenty of scientific evidence to back up it being "natural." It happens in nature all the time. Many other species of animals have been studied and found that homosexuality does indeed occur in "nature."
I think you meant to say "genetic."
In that case, I just have to ask you; Does it really matter?
Seriously, would it affect you or your life in any way?
Would it make your change your mind on how you feel about homosexuals?

No science can answer this question. The only person who can answer this is a person who is 100% Gay like me. It is and feels natural to me. I have been this way all of my life. I feel I was born a Lesbian and that the God Christian people believe in made me this way. If you have some real questions talk to a Gay/Lesbian Minister. Yes, there is such a thing. I belong to a church that has a Lesbian for a Pastor.

There is scientific evidence...not just in humans. There are many species of animals that have homosexual tendencies, like those gay penguins a few years back, or how sometimes male dogs will hunch on another male dog.

When you first started to 'like' boys, did someone 'teach' you how to 'like' them? No. It was NATURAL that you liked boys. Same with me. I'm a guy. I just 'liked' guys. Gay is MY normal.

There is homosexuality in animals. Giraffes are very gay.

it is simply how these people are born, so it is natural for them. its not a choice, its how their brains are hard wired for sexual preference.
