Yeah I feel like I used to give the nature argument to support being gay, but in reality, being natural shouldn't just mean that it's good. There's rape, murder, cannibalism, danger, poison, etc. in nature. Nature =/= good.

I'm not saying this because I'm anti-gay. Actually I feel like I'm on a bisexual-asexual spectrum. It's just not an argument that we should be using I guess unless there's a better way to spin that particular argument.

I agree with this. One day I was cursed with seeing a video of a monkey masturbating with a dead frog's mouth.

Animals are unfiltered horny. Humans are way more complex. It is 100% ok to be gay, just animal comparisons are thin. They are typically not banging for love or adding complex thinking emotions to their actions.

P.S. Don't look up the monkey thing, I regretted having eyes to watch it.

  1. It indicates sexuality isn't a choice of behavior, it's inborn

  2. If God made everything, he made a lot of gay stuff.

.

Morality of nature isn't the question. This whole issue really clearly demonstrates that morality comes from people, and religions struggle to keep up by decades and centuries. The Catholic Church recently solidified is moral objection to IVF pregnancies. Wrap your head around how absolutely stunted you need to be to think this is a MORAL issue you must oppose. It's absurd.

I think the whole nature angle is stupid to begin with. Everything is natural because everything comes from nature. Fire is natural, being gay is natural, plastic is natural.

Binding anything to natural and then saying it is good because of that or it is bad because of that is a complete waste of time and just shows the bias of the person categorizing.

As I often find the right answer to the question is "mu" which means the question is wrong.

Is ist natural? Yes, everything is so fuck that question. The better question would be "does it hurt people?" or something else like that.
