Good article. What would you say to those who say being gay is natural because it's easy to find examples of gay animals? I ask because I dont think nature is the best guide for morality, since we live in a fallen world.
Cannibalism "comes naturally" to some animals. Some animals even cannibalize their own youth. Should we use nature's example to justify cannibalism as natural and healthy?
Civilized humanity has risen above nature. Male homosexuality is a disruptive act that [physically damages the body](https://web.archive.org/web/20250417192344/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5231615/). If you wanted your society's men to be strong, you would discourage them from participating in any activity that would be detrimental to their health.
Thanks! The best angle to go with the gay animal stuff is the natural law angle… So what makes human beings different than other animals is that we are rational animals. We have the ability of forethought and logical thinking and discerning right from wrong. Animals don’t. They aren’t capable of rational thought and because of this they have a tendency to engage in irrational behavior. (Actually, we behave irrationally too when we ignore our logical faculties in favor of our emotional or impulsive nature). So essentially the point I am making is that it’s rather obvious if you think about it logically that the sexual act is naturally meant for putting the penis in a vagina in order to procreate and it’s unnatural to put a penis in… other things… and it’s unnatural to put… other things… in a vagina… And it’s only when we consciously decide to avoid thinking logically and stoop to the idiocy of irrational, impulsive animals that we can persuade ourselves that these unnatural acts are decent for rational animals to engage in.
