Homosexuality: The “Unnatural” Claim

I can’t believe this is still around, but I keep hearing the “homosexuality is against nature” argument. You know what I mean.

Well, here’s an article (from Scientific American) demonstrating that bisexual behavior not only occurs in nature, but it is actually an evolutionary survival trait. (That means species who have bisexual tendencies tend to survive more often than those who don’t.)

Now, if you like, you can continue to make the “sin argument” or the “it makes me sick” argument or even the “God hates fags” argument.* Go ahead and do that. (I can take those to the back of the woodshed, too.) But please, stop saying that homosexual sex doesn’t occur in nature. You just demonstrate a willing ignorance of facts.

(Not truth, but facts. If you want truth, the Philosophy department is right down the hall.)
