The context of my definition applies to this whether or not you want to believe it.
And now the narwhal. They're not unnatural at all since they normally grow only the single horn. I would say that narwhals(and them growing one horn) are natural, don't put words in my mouth. Now if a narwhal deviated from this and say grew no horn or two horns, that would be unnatural.
Homosexuality is the same type of deviation from nature, it's not normal, it's an anomaly. And now you're going to say that anomalies are part of nature yada yada yada. And yes, anomalies do happen in nature, but that doesn't make them natural. Any deviation from naturality is unnatural.
Now I'm sure tons of people are going to think I'm homophobic because I think homosexuality is unnatural. Honestly I don't like gay people, but I don't hate them either, they're pretty much a neutral nothingness to me since they don't have any significant impact in my life. Just because homosexuality exists in nature, and has for a long time, doesn't mean it's natural.
And yes I said I was going to give this thread up, but when someone tries to put words in my mouth I'm going to respond.
No, that definition is used to explain the term 'natural death' and is used in a different context. Note the quote.
For example, the word tall has more than one definition -
1. having a relatively great height; of more than average stature: a tall woman; tall grass
4. extravagant; difficult to believe: a tall tale.
Does that mean that all tall people are difficult to believe? No, the second quote is of a different context.
Not all definitions are applicable in every context.
If something is not natural, it is man made (caused by man, synthesised). Homosexuality is certainly not this.
Inbreeding is also "natural," but that doesn't mean it should be an accepted thing. Having sex with thirty of your sisters while in the womb and being born dead is also "natural," but that's neither acceptable nor physically possible for humans!
You're correct Urchin, but the thread is asking whether or not homosexuality is natural - not whether or not it should be acceptable.
