    Still some chinks to be worked out, but next time some ignorant tool suggests to you folks it's not natural you could do no worse than point towards them towards this article.
    Oh, and you could probably could do no worse than read it anyways, cos it's absolutely brilliant.:)

    I don't think some tool spouting the "its not natural" argument should be given the time of day.

    Doing so is a bit like saying "hey my behaviour is not wrong its genetics" whereas the real issue is that homosexuality should not be seen as immoral in the first place.

    Also its open to further issues. What if it turned out homsexuality was something akin to a recessive gene disorder, then its back to "the gays are medically ill"

    Great article though

    Oh yeah I agree, poison and death are natural. Sometimes though you have drop yourself down a level or too. Not everyone realises the naturalistic fallacy for what it is. In fact, a vast majority fall for it on a daily basis "No Artificial Ingredients". So, you have to spread awareness via other means. One thing at the time and all that. :)
