All of it heresy
Exterminautus imminent
there are so many ways to tear apart this argument you can't really decide where to start
for starters, "anything that isn't explicitly reproduction is *unnatural*" sent from my computer in my house in the city, none of which is natural in any way
things being "natural" only apply to sexuality it seems
He's not wrong.
how?
>"anything that isn't explicitly reproduction is unnatural"
*Everything* you do, is related to reproduction in some way.
for starters the medical community is in unanimous agreement that homosexuality is not a mental disorder and that homosexuals are mentally no different from heterosexuals except for sexual preference
gays are no more unnatural than left handed people
So? The 'medical community' also says being transgender or gender dysphoric is no longer a mental illness as well. Obviously, their bias is getting in the way of reality.
they're a minority but there is no reason to believe being gay is a defect based simply on how prevalent it is, if homosexuality was detremental to homosexuals it would have been a dropped evolutionary trait long ago, why then is it not only prevalent but also common in dozens of other mammals?
Look, I don't have a problem with gay people. But to *pretend* it's 'normal' and 'natural' is disingenuous.
It's not. It is *abnormal*. That doesn't mean it's *bad*, just *different*.
could it instead perhaps be the case that we don't fully understand the role homosexuality plays in social organisms?
it is not abnormal either statistically or medically, and frankly I don't like how you think im "pretending"
I am saying it is abnormal biologically. It's a dead end. So is Down's syndrome, but you wouldn't call THAT a 'feature' of humanity, would you? (I'm NOT equating the two.)
Isn't there strong evidence that homosexuality is a reactionary behavior to adverse childhoods in SOME people?
no
The American Academy of Pediatrics stated in Pediatrics in 2004:
“ There is no scientific evidence that abnormal parenting, sexual abuse, or other adverse life events influence sexual orientation. Current knowledge suggests that sexual orientation is usually established during early childhood.[3][164]
The American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, and National Association of Social Workers stated in 2006:
“ Currently, there is no scientific consensus about the specific factors that cause an individual to become heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual—including possible biological, psychological, or social effects of the parents' sexual orientation. However, the available evidence indicates that the vast majority of lesbian and gay adults were raised by heterosexual parents and the vast majority of children raised by lesbian and gay parents eventually grow up to be heterosexual.[1]

I swear to god, the APA is dead to me as long as 'Gender dysphoria' is left off the list.
"Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (i.e., sexual minority) individuals may experience disproportionately higher prevalence of adverse childhood experiences."
that doesn't mean adverse childhood experiences cause homosexuality
It kinda looks like a contributor
you don't really know how to interpret data, do you?
you are assuming a causation based on a correlation
nothing about that statement suggests adverse childhood experiences cause homosexuality
its entirely possible homosexuals have more adverse childhood experiences as a result of being bullied for being gay
