If homosexuality is unnatural, then.......?

Question

You know, debate, debate, debate whether homosexuality is unnatural or not.

But there is ONE THING that no one has brought up on EITHER side of this debate, the human's ability to love.

If ALL humans are meant to be heterosexual, then what enables homosexuals to have loving, commited responsible relationships. There are many same s*x couples in loving, commited relationships. I am in one.

It is a human's natural need to love and be loved. If homosexuality was unnatural, one way or another, then don't you think that homosexuals would be incapable of forming those commited relationships?

A heterosexual cannot romantically love someone of the same s*x. A homosexual cannot love someone of the opposite s*x.

If homosexuality was unnatural, either by choice or negative influence, how can a simple choice or influence affect the innate quality of the human to love?

Some homosexuals don't form loving, commited relationships, but what about the ones that can?: http://www.news-medical.net/?id=34635

How can a simple choice or negative experience influence such an innate quality in someone?

Love is after all, innate.

Answer 1

Nice Points.. But this wasn't a question :P

Considered blogging?

Answer 2

If evolution causes it and accommodates it, it's natural. It probably affords some advantage to the species.

Answer 3

You are confusing love with s*x. They are not the same. In human relationships, love is frequently consummated with s*x, but they are different things. Frequently people who do not love one another have s*x. Love and s*x are not always linked.

Humans have the ability to love one another without s*x. It happens all the time in family relationships as well as in the relationships between close friends. It also happens in romantic relationships where one partner or the others becomes incapable of performing sexual activities.

To say that human capacity for love proves that homosexuality is natural is a stretch.

Edit: Interesting. I point out that s*x and love are two different things, exposing a flaw in the questioner's logic, and I'm labeled a "closed minded bigot." Why the vitriolic response? Hmmm. I guess there's no room for disagreement with this questioner...

Answer 4

You are so right.

I have been lucky to have been struck by "love lightening" twice in my life.  My first partner died 25 years ago from cancer and it was very difficult for me to open myself up after that.

But I have now found my second "Mr. Right, Mr. Perfect."  We have been together for almost two years and I could never imagine being this happy again.  We both feel that we are still on our honeymoon and we keep wondering when this phase will end.

We g*y people are perfectly capable of finding deep and meaningful love.

Answer 5

Yeah, im not homosexual but i totally agree with you.  Oh and homosexuality IS natural because it happens in NATURE all the time.  Penguins, who are known for having one single life long mate, have been observed having homosexual relationships.  Scientists observed two penguins that were life long mates..... and they were both male.  So anyone who says that homosexuality is unnatural is just an uneducated hate-filled moron.  

Answer 6

love is an innate trait, not heterosexual love.

but : its not a choise and it doesnt come from a negative experience and love is not an innate trait

Answer 7

It is natural. Many species have sexual relationships with the same s*x and we are one of them. Homosexuality is as old as humans are. And love knows no bounds.

If you have any advice on how to help transform a g*y man from one that does not have committed/loving relationships to one that does please let me know. I'd like to see him in a relationship....period! I've lived with him for 8 years and he's never had a 'boyfriend', but yet has had many 'dates'. I have had 2 BF's in that time and he seems to have a lot of difficulty understanding the dynamics of those relationships; I think its cause he has never had one.

Answer 8

i totally agree with you, im in a loving and committed relationship and i too can love just as any hetero in the world. set differences aside and combine our similarities, like the ability to love
