Then it is a fluke in nature and not natural. It is a genetic flaw. It's about as natural as a person who is born with Down's Syndrome. Are you really saying that it's natural for two people of the same gender to be sexually attracted to each other? If so, I disagree.

People of the same gender can't reproduce naturally. Doesn't nature itself tell you that it isn't natural? I'm not ignorant on this subject, so you can take your liberal ideals and live with them. I don't have to.

It's not a liberal idea. It's actual fact. Over 1,500 animal species have been observed exhibiting homosexual behavior. Yet there is one species that exhibits homophobic behavior. So a woman who can't reproduce isn't natural? A man who can't reproduce is unnatural? What about a couple of 90-year-olds? Man and woman, unable to reproduce because of old age. Are they unnatural?
The definition of natural is existing in nature and not made or caused by people. Do you think animals being observed just think, oh no, it's a human, better act gay now? Being gay is just as natural as being straight.
You are incredibly ignorant on this subject. Either that, or you're just an troll, but you seem to honestly believe your idiocy, so I don't know. -

It's not idiocy at all. People and animals are born all the time with genetic flaws. Some men and women are sterile. How would you argue that is natural? Some people are born with Down's syndrome. Would you say that is natural also? What about a person who is born with one ovary and one testicle. Is that natural? Of course not. Just like it isn't natural to be born with an XXY set of chromosomes, or to have a sexual attraction to one's own gender.
Your question concerning 90 year-olds inability to reproduce is absolutely absurd or stupid. Did you really just make that part of your argument? The aging process is not a genetic flaw. Aging is a natural process for all living things.
Listen I am not homophobic. A phobia is a fear of something. I do not fear homosexuals. I have no desire to be mean spirited or hateful to a person who is homosexual. Having said that I do not perceive homosexual behavior as natural. Some people may even learn the behavior. It just goes against everything that is inside me. I don't have those feelings and am repulsed by it, perhaps the same way a homosexual man is repulsed by the sight of a vagina. -

When we say homophobic, we don't actually mean you are afraid of homosexuals. I know that's the technical definition, but the term has adapted a second definition of one who is against homosexuality. So there's that. If it was only used in the way you describe, almost nobody would be homophobic.
As for natural, yes, it is. Being born sterile is natural. Being born with Down's syndrome is natural. It's not fun and it's not the best thing in the world, but it's natural. -

Homosexuality is an abomination against the Lord and a ticket to damnation. Men have penises and women have vaginas. Humans are sexual beings whose sole purpose is to reproduce. Homosexuality is unnatural.

crazy_drunk_pedestrian says.. "homosexuality is not a "deviation", but merely another natural human variation"
A leading online dictionary lists the primary definition of the word "natural" as, "existing in or formed by nature (as opposed to artificial)".
So if I understand you correctly, you're point is that being gay is a "variation" from the "natural human". -

I lost so much respect for her when she said she hates being labelled as black. What the beep She clearly is a black woman. Why deny what you obviously are? Anyone who is ashamed of what they are has no1c84 respect from me in my book!

She doesn't want to be LABELED, that's all. She's not ashamed of being black, but how would you like to go through life as the "black actress", or the "black co-host of the View", or "former gay child star" it's a matter of her wanting to be respected as a HUMAN BEING, without labels. People tend to get bent out of shape if they aren't able to "label" someone or put them in a specific box of what they think that person should be.
It's a double-edged sword though; her consistent foot-in-mouth statements come across as her wanting to disassociate herself from black culture, which understandably off-putting to a lot of black America. She seems to have a self-loathing, internalized racism that she's not even aware of.
This PC culture of "don't label me, I'm not a soup can" is ridiculous. I understand not wanting to have people use labels against you, but at the same time we are human beings, and we understand the world around us categorically and associatively. I'm a gay man and I don't have any issue with that label because it is a descriptor for my sexuality. I
own
that. For her to not own herself as a black woman, even in the slightest, has the backhanded effect of appearing as though she feels ashamed about it, which rubs people the wrong way.
