I have moved this from net.religion,net.motss to net.religon only.

We need a definition of "natural" here. If you use "natural" as in "found
in nature" then there is no way that you can claim that homosexuality
is "unnatural" since there are a LOT of animals who practise it.

If you start saying that "homosexuality is not a good thing because
people are supposed to procreate" (and procreation is natural) then
you have just managed to condemn priests and other members of religious
groups who believe that it is their duty *not* to procreate. Not to
mention those of us who aren't having any children because the world
has enough children already.

I think the "natural" argument is entirely specious.
