First, if you're going to try and propose a thought provoking question it would probably be in your best interest to come to the table with a sense of coherency. Also, it would be nice to see that you actually take the time to check your spelling instead of allowing sophomoric mistake to run rampant throughout your question.
Furthermore, what does it matter if homosexuality is natural? What I mean to ask is, why are you asking this question? You see, a lot of people try to argue that homosexuality is not natural ergo it is neither biologically nor morally acceptable.
However, such an argument loses gravity immediately because its proponents are, in a sense, arguing that sexual intercourse is meant purley for procreation (when in reference to human beings). If that were the case then I would have to ask why the sexual experience, for most people whether or not they are homo or heterosexual, is a such a visceral experience? Afterall, if the act were naturally meant purely for procreation then the genitals would not be equiped with sensentive nerves or a clitoris. If sex were meant purely for procreation and not recreation then it would be no more different, experience wise, than using the restroom.
And if governments, mainly the American government, want to practically make homosexuality illegal based on morality and natural selection then it ought also make masturbation or any other forms of "sexual deviance" illegal as well.

Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical universe, material world or material universe. "Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The term generally does not include manufactured objects and human interaction unless qualified in ways such as, e.g., "human nature" or "the whole of nature". Nature is also generally distinguished from the supernatural. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the galactic.
The word "nature" derives from the Latin word natura, or "the course of things, natural character."[1] Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.[g] This is well shown in the first written use of the word φύσις, in connection with a plant.[a] The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage was confirmed during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.[b][c]
Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" may refer to the general realm of various types of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects – the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth, and the matter and energy of which all these things are composed. It is often taken to mean the "natural environment" or wilderness – wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the latter being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human or human-like consciousness or mind

well, i think "man", meaning humans, can live with nature without destroying it,,,,, man made things are not necessarily bad for nature,,,,,, and one could even argue that since man is of nature, his/her mind is of nature,, and what the mind creates is natural,,,,, it is the responsibility of humans to know what of their creations is detrimental to any other part of their world,,, and what is positive,,,,,
nature doesnt always allow living creatures to reach their potential and work well, nature can kill , just as man-made things can
but yes, alot of what is man-made is detrimental to all in our world,, people simply dont think nor consider the effects,, but they do this also with non material things,,
not seeing how you are getting from the first statements to homosexuality,,,,,,,, but i would say, like most things in life, it has variations,,,,,, it is natural for some, it works for some,,,,,,, just like hetrosexual,,,,,
do some of all species appear to be homosexual, by birth, a natural thing? yes, to me they do,,,,,,,
i say this based on my knowledge of myself, i feel i was born hetrosexual, there is something that makes me so,,,,, so then, in spite of abuse as a child, in spite of a bad marriage,,,,,, i am still hetrosexual,,,, no matter how much i wish to be homosexual,,,, no matter how fed up i am with man/woman relationships,,,,,, i am still me,,,,,, i cant change myself,,,,,,
