Until you're naked living out in the forest with nothing but the skin that is on your back, don't talk to me about "natural". Lots of things we do "are unnatural", living in a house, driving a car, cutting our hair, making/owning/using guns. These people don't complain "it's unnatural" to any of those things though, oh no.
Yes. My point in pointing out that the one thing was "unnatural" but acceptable means that being "unnatural" cannot be a legitimate reason for saying that something is bad.
It is especially annoying, though, when the "unnatural" argument is used on something that is natural, like homosexuality. Many animals engage in homosexual behavior, so it is obviously natural. Though, as you say, being unnatural does not equate with being bad anyway.
