Homosexuality is not natural

You are right to point out there is no direct link to Bonobos as our ancestors, I was really just generalizing the point that we were not so long ago living a similar existence to those not so distant cousins.This I think is not insulting at all, it is the subversion of the truth that is insulting."Given the fact that the homosexual population in the world is notably lower"That is really not surprising, given the hostility and bias people who come out can face. It also ignores all of the Bi and transsexual populous. When included it is more like 25.6 million Americans (11%). "approximately 3.8% of American adults identify themselves either as lesbian or gay" (1)Culture plays a large part in gay & bisexual people denying their true feelings, this undoubtedly effects counts, alongside only counting completely gay people. Completely gay people should be a small minority if a spectrum exists.(4)"Ward eventually concluded that most of these men were identified as straight because heterosexuality is their culture, as well as a marker of being "really normal", despite any same-sex practices." To add, if bonobos had an oppressive belief system that encouraged them to discriminate in return for a reward after death, it may cause a similar situation to us. Fortunately for them they have not evolved speech yet to conceptualise this."Although bonobos and chimpanzees don't look like us even though we share about 99% of their DNA"(2) they are our nearest brothers in the natural world, alongside chimps. I do not think therefore that it is an unreasonable behavioural comparison. The behaviour goes along way to explain the distribution of traits via genetics. Due to the society we have constructed and the rules we have chosen to live by or have had forced upon us by our ability to use language and reason we restrict our sexual behaviour. I think we would all mostly like to have more sex and if we are honest we are mostly not too fussy who with."I'm confused on the point you're making here. We went from the subject of homosexuality to throwing in monkeys and evolution."I am not looking to justify any actions as you suggest. I do not believe LGBT people need to justify their sexuality to anyone. It is also debatable if we are more evolved, we have evolved alongside all other life and that does not make us more important than other life forms. Many life forms have evolved things we can not do, live without oxygen for example (3) surely they are superior to us in that respect.The point is that group cohesion as demonstrated in Bonobos demonstrates in a genetically similar life form the benefits of gay and bisexual behaviours to the individual and the group in general. This shows it is very natural and completely normal. I would suggest that a society without gay and bi people would be far more aggressive in their behaviours to one another.Nature shows us it can be beneficial to society to accept & love our neighbours what ever sex they may be.The fact that bonobos are largely bisexual is clear evidence that disproves the resolution: Homosexuality is not natural.It plainly is very natural.(1)http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu...(2)http://news.sciencemag.org...(3)http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...(4)http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk...
