It describes the process of genetic variation under a regime of differential reproductive success determined by environmental fitness. It can't be used as a justification for behaving a certain way, good or bad. It would be an example of the naturalistic fallacy: it does not follow from something being natural, that it is good or right.

I hope you're not having to deal with a lot of homophobia in your personal life.

Yeah. That's like saying the theory of gravity proves it's immoral to fly in planes.
