Let's face it, all of civilizaton goes against the "natural order", if you want natural order we should all be hunter/gatherers, living in caves and wearing animal skins.

There is no good reason to prevent a group of people who are hurting no one to live life as they want to

actually no, in the bible is says in the last days that men and women will exchange what is natural (men wanting women and vice versa) for what is unnatural and God will give these people over to thier fleshly desires and a debased mind.

In a nutshell (and it's pretty tiny), Christians (along with their Jewish and Muslim friends) are under the (divine?) impression that same-sex sex will destroy Mankind since it goes against what is seemingly a divine mission: being fruitful and multiplying (that there are too many people in the world seems to escape some folk's grasp, especially when you find said individuals using pearls such as "You could fit all of the Earth's people in Texas," as an argument against the idea of the world being overpopulated). So, when Adam and Steve get together for a night of hot, steamy sex, they are sinning because their relationship will never bear children.
What's interesting to note, though, is that the "natural order" of things seems to indicate that, for example, most mammals that are regularly observed (lions, monkeys, etc.) have a given percentage of their overall numbers that engage in same-sex sex. But since that's an inconvenient factoid, our religious peers tend to ignore it.

They were not married as are modern day calls for, a ceremony and a piece of paper. The Bible is clear that God made Eve to compliment Adam not just cause he was bored. So the word marriage isn't there but it is implied and EASILY read from the context even if you aren't looking for it. Unfortunately, if you want to try and justify something you can read it out but that is between you and God.

It does. Can two men or two woman continue to populate the earth without medical intervention? ergo the answer to your question. I have several family members whom are gay and I love them dearly, I would like to see them have more rights ie. if their partner were to pass on that they wouldn't have to worry about all their physical belongings (home, bank accounts etc.), If their was a medical emergency that they would be given the opportunity to do what their partner has told them to do instead of having to listen to the family member that may or may not do the right thing by them. All of that being said I do know that they are not living the way my Lord wants them to. That truth is so hard for me because I know that if they do not change (they probably will not) they will parish forever, you can not imagine how much that hurts my heart. Its like watching someone you love die and you cant do anything to stop it. Regardless of how I feel about them, Truth is Truth.

Being cavemen has nothing to do with how people are to behave in civilization.
Christians say lots of things - like it's bad to lie, or to hate, or to be too prideful. The bottom line is that Christianity gives people a code of conduct that God wants us to live by so that we can live in peace and harmony. Some parts of that code of conduct are more difficult than others for us to handle - depending on our personalities.
Personally, I'm a hetrosexual guy who loves to check out women. In fact, if it were merely up to me, I'd be a slave to my lustful nature. God shows us a better way - through self control and trying to what is right, rather than what feels good, we can live fulfilling lives.
I love my wife more deeply than I imagined I could love someone. Much deeper than I'd love someone I just hooked up with and dated for a few months. If I hadn't put my lust under control, I wouldn't know how deep and fulfilling love can be.
I think this is true for everyone. Once you admit that God created us, and He knows what's best for us, if you try to live by it, you'll find that God is right. We are happier and more fulfilled than we were by chasing after what "felt good", or what we thought was best.

Because they like their little one sided arguments and hate thinking. Those that DO think instead say "God said it's wrong for humans to do it" so they have a BIT more support. Yet, many fail to see how an all forgiving and loving deity would hate anything His/Her/Its children/creations would do, especially since God must have created homosexuality as well. Let's face it, the Bible was penned by humans and then mis-translated throughout the ages. It's got to have crap loads of junk missing from it.

if it goes against the natural order, why are there gay animals? or Do they not believe in that because it's not in the bible?

Those are your ancestors, right?
C'mon man, get over your Chrisophobia. Jesus loves you and wants to know you intimately. You know Jesus didn't create you inside your mother's womb for nothing. The only reason you were born in this particular moment in time is so that you would search for God and find him. But He is not that far from any one of us. Just repent of your sins and trust Jesus to save you from your sins and the wrath of God.

You know it brother!
And besides, since when did Christians name themselves the Official 'Natural Order' Police?
