Do you still think homosexuality is unnatural?

Question

Now, I'm not debating whether or not it's an abomination - however, I am debating the popular mentality that homosexuality is "unnatural".

First let's take a look at the word "Unnatural", shall we? It means not in accordance with or determined by nature; contrary to nature.

If homosexuality is so contrary to nature, why do I see it all the time in nature? Just today I saw my two male cats (out of three, there is a female) "enjoying each others company". I've also seen dogs, animals at the zoo, etc. taking part in homosexual acts.

So, how is homosexuality unnatural if it's found in nature?

Answer 1

I agree that homosexuality is natural.

Same-sex sexual interactions are common-place in the wild among birds, dolphin, deer, bison and cats, as well as monkeys and apes, such as macaques, gorillas and bonobos. Animal behavior scientists believe it has to do with social bonding, sexual practice by minors and a way to control populations without those who will not get to reproduce. After all not ALL viable animals will get to relieve their sexual urges and pass on their genes at the same time. If that were to happen, no species would survive the overpopulation.

So is it religious sin or biblical sin for many- Yes

Is it unnatural- No.

The REAL pertinent question however for society is:

Is it unethical or anti-social?

Because that is the ONLY basis on which we need to make legal decisions regarding this issue.

Answer 2

i'm a woman and that i'm promptly. i think of a few women are suited yet that does no longer propose i'm sexually attracted to women. there is not any longer something incorrect with being gay, bisexual, or promptly. it relatively is unnatural for adult adult males to sleep with different adult adult males and it relatively is unnatural for women to be at the same time. look at human anatomy and you will comprehend why it relatively is unnatural. i'm in my mid 20's, i'm a virgin, and that i won't have intercourse until eventually i'm married. some human beings say being celibate is unnatural. there is not any longer something incorrect with abstinence and that i could be a virgin whether i replaced right into a lesbian.

Answer 3

Yes, here is the definition of unnatural:

Source: WordNet (r) 1.7

unnatural
adj 1: not in accordance with or determined by nature; contrary to
nature; "an unnatural death"; "the child's unnatural
interest in death" [ant: natural]
2: speaking or behaving in an artificial way to make an
impression [syn: affected] [ant: unaffected]
3: distorted and unnatural in shape or size; abnormal and
hideous; "tales of grotesque serpents eight fathoms long
that churned the seas"; "twisted into monstrous shapes"
[syn: grotesque, monstrous]

Answer 4

What you see in nature is not an act of Homosexuality. Ask any Vet. When a male or female tries to 'hump' the same sex, it's a dominance thing. That's all, no attraction.

Answer 5

The zoo and your house is already an unnatural setting for these animal so i dont know how valid that is. Also, is not that easy to determine what the interaction of the animals are. To you, it might seem like a sexual position they r in but it could very well just be them wrestling. In animals, sex = reproduction unlike in human where sex does not necessary equal reproduction deed but also for pleasure. Scientist have not been able to observe sex for pleasure in any other animal except dolphin & a few other. If sex is only for reproduction in nature.....animal will only mate with the opposite sex to produce and pass on gene. Granted there are many form of mating observed in animal where some involved 3 or more individual for either moral support such as gorilla or for physical support such as some whale in the ocean. I dont think you arguement of homosexuality in nature is valid. However, there is gene coding for protein that might causes the body to release more of certain hormone and that could contribute to homosexuality behavior and that I do support it can be natural.

Answer 6

When doing research on animal behavior I do remember coming across this type of behavior.

If I remember correctly this act is a way of establishing dominance one over the other it has nothing to do with Sex as we humans look at it.

In the animal kingdom there is always a dominant one in the pack.

Dominance aggression is motivated by a challenge to a dog's social status or to his control of a social interaction. Dogs are social animals and view their human families as their social group or "pack." Based on the outcomes of social challenges among group members, a dominance hierarchy or "pecking order" is established.

Some animal mothers teach their male babies how to perform by doing it with them. We humans wouldn't do that!!!


I found this article on the net:
But sexual motivation is not the whole story because inexperienced neutered males and some females hump as well. The conclusion must be that mounting behavior ("humping") is genetically encoded in both sexes and may be activated by not only testosterone but also by other natural forces.

Motivationally speaking, dominance, or at least the wish to be dominant, seems to be another factor. Perhaps dominant "wannabes" obtain some intrinsic reward from engaging in the behavior. A chemical in the brain called serotonin is intimately involved in the desire and capacity to be dominant, and this chemical may play a role in the humping behavior. For instance, if a dog that previously hadn't engaged in humping has low levels of brain serotonin, he may feel as if he's in a funk. This situation might lead to feelings of agitation and also tend to enhance aggressive or impulsive behavior. The mental conquest afforded by humping might boost serotonin levels, as occurs in monkeys following a victorious interactions with other monkeys, creating a feeling of well-being and satisfaction.

In nature, the dominant dog is the one who get the privilege of breeding receptive bitches. It is not “first come, first served” but truly a contest of mental and physical strength. Nature has designed the brain centers that control sexual behavior and dominant aggressive behavior to be confluent so that sex drive and the need for social/political success are virtually inseparable qualities in all group-living species. Even in the absence of sex hormones and “true” sexual motivation, the other half of the equation is still operational, however redundant that may seem.

The fact that females also hump is hardly surprising. No behavior is purely male or purely female, though “sexually dimorphic” behaviors are, by definition, more common in one sex than the other. Humping is one such behavior, being far more common in males yet also a feature of some dominant females' behavioral repertoires. In addition, intact bitches may have appreciable levels of testosterone in their bloodstream, providing another facet to this already complicated situation.

Answer 7

It is true. In rejecting God you actually have a reprobate mind.

Ask the proctologists how natural it is genius or check out www.colostomybagsRus.gay

Yeah all the STDs and Aids spread by this filthy behavior must seem pretty natural to you.

By the way, I really love your analogy. Humans learning how to behave from creatures with very small minds.

What are you thinking?

Answer 8

there was a fall of mankind-it is part of the curse

how many generations would there be if homosexuality was done by all?

and from many x homosexuals they have told me the joy of Jesus and salvation -now thankfull and not worshiping the created but the creator with a good mind which as they admit as Romans 1 says about homosexuality was a reprobate mind/. john 3 repented of sin and born again

have the nicest day supernaturally

Answer 9

It's natural, common, enjoyable .
Homophobia is a recent mental disease . It is seen in some people that don't know how to react to their own natural homosexual drive. They should just relax and give it a try, with condoms and silicone based lube. They might even enjoy it !

Answer 10

well, some folks are so egotistical to believe that "unnatural" is whatever acts they consider to be unnatural for themselves. apparently their opinion is the standard by which everyone is measured. never mind what goes on in the natural world of animals. it's only personal/religious distaste for an act that makes the act "unnatural".

and a lot of these anti-gay people are Christians and Christians believe in washing in the blood of a human blood sacrifice. talk about gross perversion!
