I've heard "unnatural" quite a few times before from lots of theists, so I thought I'd write my thoughts on that.
It's a terrible defence, but particularly so from anyone who believes in an interacting God.
If God is fucking around and changing stuff all the time, and indeed making decisions about what people are like when they are born, then nothing about sexuality is natural. The word makes no sense for this belief system.
If it's some attempt to try and appeal to actual nature, that's rather bogus because it's now somehow become a godless world, but even so lots of other animals have homosexuality, and it's plenty natural.
In fact, for homosexuality to be "unnatural" that means it must be the result of supernatural intervention. So either God did it, or else he watched while some other naughty deity did something and refuses to stop them or correct it because "fruit".
Any way you slice it, it's one of the worst attempts to rationalize homophobia. Let's face it, what they really mean is "different from me".
