Are Homosexual Feelings Unnatural?

Sure, the majority of people tend to be straight. But is it learned, or from birth? Scientists, scholars, and religious leaders have argued this point countless times. Gays cannot naturally reproduce, but does that mean their feelings are unnatural? Are they just sick minded people that wish to indulge on an unpopular fetish? 

If you ask any gay person why they're gay, they'll probably just glare at you. "I didn't choose this" is the resounding response. "When did you choose to be straight?" Why would anyone go against the norm in society for fun to only be rejected, ridiculed, beat up, and sometimes killed? It's downright ignorant to claim that homosexuality is unnatural or goes against the laws of nature. Gay people aren't made, they are born.Heterosexuals continue to produce homosexuals. They are not going to die out. 

"Gay feelings" used to be considered to stem from things like being molested or daddy issues. But the American Psychiatric Association has removed homosexuality from the list of disorders. Religion and "morality" aside, science tells us it is a force outside the control of the individual. Nature has decided to allow homosexual people into the world. And they will not stop coming as long as heterosexuals continue to reproduce. Perhaps homosexuality is nature's way of population control.

Whatever the reason, nature has created homosexuals. It is just as natural as Joe having sexual attractions to Jane. It is still a natural drive that comes from the body's need to reproduce, only same-sex couples don't have the parts to succeed on their own. The need and ability to raise children and have a family CAN still occur in same-sex relationships, though. These are still natural feelings. Adoption, surrogacy, or egg/sperm donation are common in straight couples, so why can't gays do it too?

Homosexuality is just as natural in origin as heterosexuality. Both can contribute equally to society as well as create families. Just because homosexuality is unnatural to you DOESN'T mean it's unnatural to them or unnatural in general. Calling gays unnatural is ignorance and fear of what you don't know.
