Homosexuality

[Neo-Scholastic]

Problem with religious people, when they're talking about homosexuals, is that they don't know any homosexuals personally.

To varying degrees of closeness, from family to work associates, I can think of 15 off the top of my head.

Second, the following animals all have regular instances of homosexual behavior:
Male lions
Male American bisons
Female penguins
Male elephants
Bonobo chimps
Male Amazon dolphins
Giraffes
And more...

I think the real question is not whether it occurs in nature. Lots of strange adaptive behaviors, like female spiders eating their suitors, occur in nature. But what is natural for spiders is not natural for human beings. The real question is not whether it natural, as in common place; but rather, natural, as in normative for human beings, to harbor certain desires and engage in specific behaviors.

(not to mention, well I guess I am, that according to Christian doctrine, we live in a fallen creation and as such animal behavior has also been corrupted by sin.)
