“Its Natural”
People often justify homosexuality because “it’s natural” or “I was born like this.” This doesn’t seem true for a number of reasons. For one thing, it can’t be natural because a homosexual lifestyle won’t produce offspring. Many claim that the purpose of life is to survive; by being homosexual, one is not doing that at all. A museum called the Oslo Natural History Museum features an exhibit that presents several “examples” of beetles, giraffes, penguins, and parrots engaging in behavior that might be called homosexual. This, all of a sudden,
justifies homosexuality because it happens in nature. Animals do it, so that justifies it for humans! Well, that logic opens up a lot of possibilities for the human race. Now, we can eat our kids if we want to, because that’s what 10% of the adult Komodo dragon’s diet consists of: juvenile Komodo dragons. Female praying mantises and black widow spiders kill and eat the male after mating with him. And a good deal of male animals fight and kill sexual rivals. You can see the flawed logic here. Humans don’t want to mimic animal behavior and animal behavior does not justify human behavior.
Another argument that is used often is: “I was born a homosexual.” Whether or not this is true is beside the point. A person could say, “I was born a pedophile” (an adult who likes to have sex with children). Are his actions justified because he thinks he was born this way? Some actually say they were born pedophiles. If you justify homosexuality with this logic, then you justify being a pedophile.
