One thing that troubles me about this "Homosexuality is natural, loads of other animals do it" argument is that it's only a matter of time before someone says the same about paedophilia. Either someone anti-LGBT trying to make the connection between LGBT and child molestation, or from one of the organised paedophile groups that's trying to get their interest in children legalised. There is no age of consent in the animal world.

The same argument could even be used to attempt to legitimise rape, since that's effectively how a number of species (e.g. dogs and dolphins) sometimes reproduce. Somebody's going to raise this at some point.

Part of being human is balancing our instincts against doing what's right. It is one of the things that sets most of us apart from animals. Clearly, rape and child sex abuse cause physical and psychological harm to the victims. But homosexuality between consenting adults causes no such harm. All of the arguments against are based on a religious morality that's fixated with breeding and can't accept that sex can be an expression of love, a means of bonding, or simply good old physical pleasure.

Super agree. Haha

Many religious people will tell you that you are wrong. Then they will explain why homosexuals are dangerous and inhuman, after which they will proceed to restrain you, torture you and kill you if you do not comply with their beliefs.

Speaking as a bisexual and agnostic I have nothing against homosexuality. Homosexuals just want equal rights. They don't want to convert people over to their way of life. Religion on the other hand...

1,500 species according to another source. True, 1,499 of them don't have a problem with it, while the other has religion.

Religion wants to control your breeding. It relies on a cycle where you pair off, have kids, and indoctrinate them into the same belief system, to do the same when they're old enough.

Religion's real problem with homosexuality (and masturbation, and in some cases, contraception) is that it doesn't serve religion's business agenda by breeding more followers. So no happy feels from your rude bits, unless there's at least some chance of you putting another bum on a pew.

I'm a practicing hono myself.

Evidence is accumulating to indicate that sexual orientation and gender identity have physiological components which may well be strong and pervasive in these characteristics. The video concerns gender identity primarily, but the same sort of observations have been made concerning oeientation as well.

Uhhhh, both are completely natural:
wonder + reverence → religion

I had no idea you were a hono! What the hell is a hono?

Been saying that for years.
