Who here is empowered to speak on behalf of the Natural Law? Did the catholic church get that franchise?
C_L, I get that you're providing back story for why you believe as you do. I just question yours or the catholic church's standing to speak authoritatively regarding natural law. As has been pointed out many times before, homosexual acts between the same sex are present in many mammalian species. You can't very well say it is just on account of God giving us free will (with the expectation that we toe the line willingly) that we mess up so badly. Did God also give giraffes free will or what's their excuse? When it comes to what is natural, homosexuality definitely plays a part. Procreation doesn't dictate every animal's agenda.
