Gaybirds and Lezzie-lions

There’s one homophobic argument that’s sillier than most. You might run into people who hold forth about what’s “natural” and “unnatural.” They think they know how nature is made up. They might be biologists who think we are preprogrammed for heterosexuality so we can procreate, or they could be Christians who claim that God created man and woman for each other. Sometimes, people use the argument that a woman’s sex organs are built to accommodate a penis.

But the truth is, we don’t know what’s natural. And if God exists, we can only speculate about why he/she/it planned the world. On the one hand, what we do know is that humans do a whole lot of stuff that doesn’t occur in “nature.” We have microwaves, cars and iPods. And on the other hand, we know that all this stuff is occurring on the earth, and so it’s easy to make the counter-argument that iPods are as “natural” as anything else in the world.

Another “nature” argument, that animals never engage in homosexual sex, is just plain wrong. Today we know that homosexual sex acts are routine among many if not most animal species. There are plenty of gaybirds and lezzie-lions.

“But gay people can’t procreate,” goes another argument. “Imagine if we all turned gay, the human race would die out.” That’s just bad logic. Not only is it obvious that homosexuals are a minority and probably always will be, but it’s also not true that gay people don’t or can’t have kids. In fact, it’s becoming more common and more accepted for lesbians and gay men to adopt or foster children. The number of lesbians who choose to reproduce by artificial means, that is, using donated sperm, is rising all across the Western world. At the same time, many straight couples choose not to have children.

People talk a lot of garbage. Ask these people to define what they mean by nature. And let them know that they don’t get to define what is natural and what isn’t. I guarantee that you’ll find it easy to beat them at their own game. Promise.
