I really don't see the problem here.

According to your definition anything that exist is natural.
The things I quoted exist so are in your terms equally natural. As far as I'm concerned they are all equally repulsive.
There are two sides to a viewpoint and the opposite to yours is that comparing homosexuals to straight people is very offensive.

I'm not sure it matters anyway because it shouldn't make any difference if gay people conform to your definition of what is natural or not. What we are saying is that they should have equality before the law.

My definition is not as you describe at all. It was claimed that homosexuality was unnatural and I pointed out it was not because it occurs in nature in the behaviour of many other lifeforms on the planet. To go from this to saying that I claim anything that happens on Earth is natural is stupid.

So it's only what you say exist in nature. Not the other things that exist in nature as they don't suit your argument.
Is that what they call natural selection by Calliope?

Serious question Bix - what would you do if one of your kids or grandkids were gay? Would you accept them for who they are even though you're against marriage in a gay relationship?

It is unnatural for humans to be flying at 30 thousand feet, but that does not make all passengers deviants - unless they are on Easyjet.

I'm not sure why you are trying to equate what is natural with what is good or permitted?? If you give me your definition of natural we can end this and move on to why you have such strong objections to gay people getting married when it has nothing to do with you.
