Homosexual behaviour has been exhibited by every known species. Homophobia has only been documented in one .
Who’s fuckin unnatural now?
It’s cute and all but… I really hate that arguement. If it wasn’t natural, it wouldn’t make it any less moral. We don’t need to play by their rhetorical rules. I know that this is just a cute thing, but I see this kind of things all the time and I feel quite strongly about it. So what if I wasn’t born this way? So what if it’s not natural? Does it somehow make things worse? Or is just an excuse to justify hatred of something that just grosses the 'phobes out?.. y’know?
When I was a teen I asked my religious homophobic grandma if animals dont have rational thought but can still be gay, how did they “choose” to be gay? Her response? Gay penguins dont have souls so it doesnt count.
Just shows you that people like that just want a neat and tidy (thought terminating) answer, rather than to know the actual truth.
To which I’d have been tempted to reply: “Then how is it that they care for one another if they are without souls? Maybe being so callously judgemental of that which you don’t understand makes you the soulless one who doesn’t count.”
Turtles are the horniest animals on the planet.
If you don’t have enough girls per male, they will not be able to eat or drink because they are constantly molested by the fuckmachine males.
If you want to live with turtles, don’t mix genders, or get a whole lot of turtles…
These are tortoises, not turtles.

What is a tortoise anyway? Is it just a fancy way to say “turtle”? Well, actually, there’s a meaningful difference between tortoises and other turtles. All tortoises are in fact turtles—that is, they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia, reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell—but not all turtles are tortoises. If tortoises are turtles, why not just call all turtlelike creatures “turtle”? Because if the animal you’re referring to is a tortoise, some wise guy is going to correct you every time.
Hi, it’s me 👋
Everything comes from nature so nothing is unnatural.
Well that would just diminish the value of having both words.
So?
The words exist across languages because we use them to mean something. If they had neither denotative nor connotative use, your comment itself would not mean anything. That you made the comment seems to me to imply that you know there is a difference.
Yes, we use them to mean something that is wrong.
We have the concept of werewolves, doesn’t mean they exist.
This is such a silly line of thinking. To call being gay unnatural is clearly a misuse of the word, but the idea that everything that exists at all is natural is nonsense. For example, hot pink is an unnatural human hair color. Even if you color your hair hot pink, and therefore it exists; that doesn’t make it natural. So in the absence of another word used to describe something that wouldn’t otherwise exist in nature without human intervention, … “unnatural” is perfectly suited to this task.
The silly line of thinking is that because a human does something, it makes it unnatural.
I understand that it is meant that way. I’m just criticizing it.
People could be born with hot pink hair and at that point it would be natural?
Is plastic unnatural because it is made by humans? If there was a bacteria who produces plastic would that make plastic natural?
It’s the underlying misunderstanding that people think humanity is something special.
Let’s be real. People say unnatural and mean wrong or undesirable. And I am arguing against that.
With that last part I agree. And I’d bet we probably generally agree, but as a matter of perspective our positions look different. I’m not trying to be obtuse here.
