Homosexuality is not natural

_REBUTTAL_ My opponent did not respond to any of my contentions from last round. Because of that I will drop them all to this round. In this round I will be brief and just rebuttal my opponent. C1) - It is not only found in humans My opponent appears to claim that homosexuality is normal amongst animals. Though homosexuality is not normal animal behavior. It can not be called animal instincts. As humans we have intellect that determines the best course to follow. It is not so with animals they lack the intellect and will. The stimuli affecting an animal's instinctive impulses result in cases of animal "homosexuality. " Since animals lack reason, their means of expressing their affective states are limited. Animals also appear homosexual due the need of social dominance amongst its kind. Jacque Lynn Schultz, ASPCA Animal Sciences Director of Special Projects, explains further: Usually, an un-neutered male dog will mount another male dog as a display of social dominance--in other words, as a way of letting the other dog know who's boss. While not as frequent, a female dog may mount for the same reason. This behavior does not stem from a instinct that is part of animal nature. Dr. Antonio Pardo, Professor of Bioethics at the University of Navarre, explains: Properly speaking, homosexuality does not exist among animals. .. . For reasons of survival, the reproductive instinct among animals is always directed towards an individual of the opposite sex. Therefore, an animal can never be homosexual as such. Nevertheless, the interaction of other instincts (particularly dominance) can result in behavior that appears to be homosexual. Such behavior cannot be equated with an animal homosexuality. All it means is that animal sexual behavior encompasses aspects beyond that of reproduction. As we see Homosexuality in the animal kingdom is not natural nor is it frequent. In fact it is a by product of other social behaviors as the for said (social dominance). (C2) - The mass populations and testimonies of homosexuals would lean towards the idea that it is not a choice and is integrated into their genetic code at birth. . http://www.youtube.com... I offer a video of my own contradicting my opponent. --> He also suggests that homosexuality is wide spread and accepted by most and of course it is natural. It is not approved by most. Also it is not normal nor natural and here is why. .. it is Ego-Synotic disorder. This disorder denotes aspects of a person's thoughts, impulses, attitudes, and behavior that are felt to be acceptable and consistent with the self-conception. There are three characters in every mental disorder: extent of distress, impairment in life and abnormal behavior. Again homosexuality fit all three. Therefore it is not natural but in fact artificial and that is opposed to natural. [IMPACT]- Those that are more exposed in society the more who will develop this mental disorder. Negated: Resolved: I have shown that there is nothing natural from homosexuality. Homosexual behavior is a mental disorder from issues within society. This also could be from the overwhelming thought of reproduction which in turns repulses those with this disorder. =SOURCES= . http://narth.com... . http://www.freerepublic.com... . http://brighthorizon.us... . http://www.petfinder.com... . http://www.conservapedia.com... . http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com...
