Midas Dekkers on Homosexuality
#9
RE: Midas Dekkers on Homosexuality
It appears Richard Dawkins agrees with the stance Midas Dekkers makes:

Richard Dawkins Wrote:As for your particular desire not to stigmatise homosexuality as unnatural, why bother? In one sense it is unnatural (it doesn't result in procreation which is obviously the ultimate Darwinian function of sexual behaviour). On the other hand it is natural (lots of people do it for preference and enjoy it). isn't that enough? Why drag in bonobos, as if the fact that it is common among them made it any more natural than the fact that it is common in humans? Let people do what they feel like doing (so long as it doesn't hurt others). You don't need to justify it by looking to other species.

Also see "the Bonobo's Tale" in Richard Dawkins' book, The Ancestor's Tale
