How Can Homosexuality Be Natural?

There is little I've ever heard of or seen that so goes against the natura primo order of humanity than homosexuality. What are the logical arguments against it? What are the logical arguments for it? Emphasis on logical here.


  • A Natural Explanation

    A recent scientific study showed that gay men and women react to different pheromones than straight ones. This seems to show they're just born with it, and its a natural thing for them. And who knows, maybe it's nature's way of tryin to keep humans from breeding. There's too many of us right now to begin with.

  • it is NATURAL!

    i don't think homosexuality is something that goes against human nature! on the contrary it is totally natural... why do we try so hard to explain homosexuality and never try to explain heterosexuality, ever though about that! The story of Adam and Eve is just a LEGEND and shouldn't be take so litterlaly, maybe there was a story about two homosexual people but it wasn't allowed to be published cuz the subject is a taboo. As a matter of fact, homosexuality has always existed since the beginning of time and for that, it shouldn't be such a taboo, and it shoudn't be described as something unnatural or sinfull or whatever... I'm not defending this case cuz of my sexuality, i have my own beliefs and i think that, just like we shouldn't make racial comments or feminist comments, we shouldn't make comments against homosexuality, simply because...it is NATURAL

  • Some science

    I'm going to try to add a little science into the debate to help explain some things. First of all, sexual behaviour is determined while still under fetal development. How it works is this:

    Testosterone is converted to Estrogen in the brain by an enzyme called aromatase. This estrogen in the brain during fetal development causes male sexual behaviour. Estrogen cannot freely enter the brain, because of a specific protein called, alpha-fetoproteins. Therefore, only testosterone can enter the brain, not estrogen.

    So, males produce a significantly larger amount of testosterone than do females.  Therefore, females do not have very much conversion of testosterone to estrogen in the brain. Also, since the alpha-fetoproteins bind the rest of their estrogen, females do not get much estrogen in their brain at all.  Thus, females develop female sexual behavior.  Males have a lot of testosterone, and therefore convert a lot of testosterone to estrogen in their brain.

    Now, here is where I talk about where things can go wrong. If a male has defect in his aromatase enzymes in his brains, he may not get enough estrogen in his brain. Similarly, if the male does not produce enough testosterone during this fetal period, he will have the same problem. This problem is the development of female sexual behavior. Many men who have this problem are physiologically just like any other male, but, have female sexual behavior. They are attracted to males and act, often, like females in their manarisms and their speech.

    The same thing can happen to females. If a female has a defect in her alpha-fetoproteins or produce more testosterone than normal during this fetal period, they will develop male sexual behaviour.

    I hope this clears things up for all of you out there. Especially you ignorant raging homophobes. Good day.

  • To the Christians who are ok with homosexuality

    If your a Christian, and accept the idea of homosexuality like some people I know look into scripture:

    For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: - Romans 1:26

    1Corithians 6:9-10: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

  • i believe it is natural

    there are several reasons why i believe this to be so

    1)there are gay animals and the dictionary defines natural as what happens in nature. now, sure you can argue that animals do a bunch of stuff that is not suitable for humans to do but it is still natural, it is still natural for that species. so whether or not you believe homosexuality to be right or wrong or to be acceptable to humans or not doesn't stop it from being natural.

    2)people don't choose to be gay. people are attracted to people of their own gender not by their own choice. so if you are religious, then this means that it is god who gave gay people their sexuality and it can't be wrong.

    3)a man's g-spot is located inside his anus. if you believe in god, then you believe that god created men with a g-spot inside them and why would god create men with a g-spot inside their anus if it was bad to have sex in there?

    so if you take into consideration that homosexuality occurs in nature, that gay people don't choose to be gay, and that men were designed to have straight and gay sex then it becomes overwhelmingly clear that homosexuality is natural/normal/not wrong.

  • My thoughts

    I've considered homosexuality for quite some time and thought a great deal about the legitimacy or illegitimacy of it. I hope to portray here the conclusions I've come to. Many people out there make the argument that people are born gay and that it is therefore natural and good. Others go against that by saying that it is a 'disease' or something to that degree. Both of them have possibly valid points. We have people who are born with a disorder that leads them to murder and to do terrible things. But we also have people who are 'natural born' humanitarians. There are people who are born with a mind that cannot think at all, but there are people who can do college math at the age of three. These are all things that people are born with. My point here is that just as any one of these things can be a good or bad thing (however natural it may be) homosexuality can be a good or bad thing (however natural it may be). From the physiological standpoint, I don't fully understand what makes a man sexually attracted to another man. But I do observe that his body is not made for intercourse with the same sex. The anus is no more a vagina than a coconut is a basketball. It violates a physiological natural order. (Either that or evolution has not had time to catch up to the natural progess of mankind's sexuality) The same is true for the females, but not as easily described. So from an objective standpoint of the physiological, it is unnatural. Some have also made the argument that homosexuality is natural in that it can be seen in animals. In the end, this proves nothing. Many different animals fight one another to the death, force females to breed, and eat their own young. If homosexuality should be looked on as legitimate because of a display in animals then we can throw our 6000 years of growing culture to hell. The truth here is that we are not animals and can not be expected to act like them just because they do it. To those who see nothing wrong with this lifestyle I would like to ask, what do you look for in the defining of right and wrong? The same goes for those who disagree with this lifestyle. The story of Adam and Eve states that we have attained a knowledge of good and evil and I believe that we have. But how do you, all of you, measure and interpret that knowledge? This is only the tip of the iceberg in my interpretation, but it is a start for the moment. Replies?
