Argument in favour - Sexual orientation and homosexuality are not a choice and therefore can be considered biologically natural, not to mention it is easily observed in nature among other non-human species
Argument against - Homosexuality is incompatible with procreation and is therefore biologically unnatural; even if people don't have a choice (the same way someone would argue that being transgender is unnatural)
I'm always confused at this - I can see both sides have a point, but I don't even understand what natural means here - Does it mean merely passing our genes to the next generation? Or does it mean behaviour that is inherent to us and not artificially or socially constructed?
I think biologically homosexuality is natural, but obviously it constitutes exceptional uncommon behaviour that doesn't allow for procreation, so I don't know.
Opinions?
