Another falalcious argument. The fact that homosexuals exist in nature, and are the result of nature, does NOT make them homogenous with nature.
Homosexuality is manifeest ONLY by behavior. There is no evidence to prove one way or the other that it is anything other than what we can see in front of our eyes. Homosexual behavior. Behavior in this case, is a choice.
I think I made it clear that homosexuals cannot reproduce as a result of homosexual behavior. I'm well-aware that man can circumvent this in an unnatural manner via human intervention in the process.
I just wanted to see if you were going to try and pull that one out on me.
so when you see one male dog humping another male dog it's just a choice, gunny?
Again, if homosexuality is MERELY A CHOICE then tell me under what circumstances it would take to get you to start sucking a cock. You can't define what is "un-natural" by minimizing behaviour that you can OBSERVE in nature. NOT EVERY natural behaviour is tied to reproduction of a specie. Do you think that non-alpha animals STOP having sexual urges just because they lose the mating dual?

But, actually, some same-sex birds do do it. So do beetles, sheep, fruit bats, dolphins, and orangutans. Zoologists are discovering that homosexual and bisexual activity is not unknown within the animal kingdom.
Roy and Silo, two male chinstrap penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo have been inseparable for six years now. They display classic pair-bonding behaviorentwining of necks, mutual preening, flipper flapping, and the rest. They also have sex, while ignoring potential female mates.
Wild birds exhibit similar behavior. There are male ostriches that only court their own gender, and pairs of male flamingos that mate, build nests, and even raise foster chicks.

Bisexual Species: Unorthodox Sex in the Animal Kingdom
Two penguins native to Antarctica met one spring day in 1998 in a tank at the Central Park Zoo in midtown Manhattan. They perched atop stones and took turns diving in and out of the clear water below. They entwined necks, called to each other and mated. They then built a nest together to prepare for an egg. But no egg was forthcoming: Roy and Silo were both male.
Nevertheless, the study of homosexual activity in diverse species may elucidate the evolutionary origins of such behavior. Researchers are now revealing, for example, that animals may engage in same-sex couplings to diffuse social tensions, to better protect their young or to maintain fecundity when opposite-sex partners are unavailableor simply because it is fun. These observations suggest to some that bisexuality is a natural state among animals, perhaps Homo sapiens included, despite the sexual-orientation boundaries most people take for granted. [In humans] the categories of gay and straight are socially constructed, Anderson says.
