if it is not natural then why is it found in many other species?

But at least we have got to the bottom (pardon the pun) of your objection to the referendum

You'd think that. The fact he's a biologist makes his position all the more bizzare.

Homophobes need to pay the bills too, I suppose.

You are person typing on plastic keyboard or screen sending messages to strangers either via invisible wavelengths or through wires and suddenly you are concerned about what is natural? Is the light on above your head?

Yes. You'd think that a Marine Biologist like Dr Samuel Shephard would know that.

I love the way they say he's a "population ecologist" but decline to mention that he appears to specialise in fish populations.

now i cant get the image of George Constanza out of my head.

If something is not natural, then it's artificial.

So you do think that all homosexuals are just pretending.

Just because you have a penis, doesn't mean you have to put it in a vagina. Humans have evolved way beyond having sex purely for procreation. And even at that, it can be observed in the animal kingdom.

Homosexuality is natural??

I saw three male giraffes at it in Fota, the middle one jumped on the first one then the third came along and jumped on the middle one. A gay giraffe gang-bang. They were right beside the fence and from that angle, about 10 feet from me, there was an excellent view of proceedings.

Thankfully Toddler was asleep so I was spared explaining Birds n' Bees a good decade before I expected to. Other families didn't get off as easily: "What are those things on the giraffe's bellies, Daddy, and why are they dripping?"

:D

Of course homosexuality isn't natural!!!

It was invented by Nikola Tesla in 1898 as a byproduct of his experiments with electromagnetism. Duh.

(seriously, these people that go on about 'nature'...where the feck do you think it is coming from, because there are two types of thing in the universe: nature and human technology)

David Bowie played him in a film once. It all makes sense now.

Using that logic, rape is natural, murder is natural, incest is natural. I think we're better than animals.

I'm struggling to see where you've employed anything even resembling logic here...

They may well be 'natural' what they have to do with homosexuality is beyond me... unless you are drawing somekind of equivalence?

Because we do all of those things far more than animals?

I am NOT opening that at work. :pac:, but I will look at it at home.

If you look at ancient human societies it's probably more natural for humans to act like bonobos, in that sex is used as a social way of keeping peace amongst the community. Bonobos use sex to solve all kind of social problems instead of violence as their chimp counterparts would.

Anyone who says homosexuality isn't natural is clearly clueless about nature.

Homosexuality is natural....children don't need a mother or a father...gays are discriminated against....

I learn something new everyday here.

John Waters and Kathy Sinnott are on the case now for the No vote. A whole lotta crazy right there.

Children don't as such need a mother and father. Out of all the higher primates human spend the least amount of time with their infants. We hand them off to family and friends quite easily. All the other primates won't let anyone near their infant nearly as easily as humans would. That's where the saying "it take a village to raise a child comes from". A good community is probably more important than having both a mother and father.

Not if that community has unnatural homosexualists roaming about like brazen giraffes!

Just want to point out to frostyjacks that homosexuality was normal practice among the Greek and Roman Empires. You only think it's unnatural because of an old book of fables which if people were actually to obey in full, instead of being selective, we'd have an extremely fcuked up society.
