- Anything Else -Unnatural? Above the beast?In Reply to: Re: Not an ounce of substance posted by Lark on April 14, 1999 at 16:50:33:
If you think that "man is distinct from the beast" as you put it, then why do you resort to the "it's not natural" argument? Homosexuality is natural, in that it occurs in many other species, it is possible, and it is accepted behaviour in those species. If "man" is "above" these "beasts", then are you implying that all of nature, all of these species, are unnatural? Does this mean that until the birth of "man" all of nature was unnatural? What a ridiculous thought. How friggin' arrogant it sounds to suggest an infant of a species such as our own could possibly know or understand enough about the history of life and species on this planet to declare most of them to be unnatural. You are judging a life system of which you are a part, and which your species only joined in the most recent geological instant. Your species is one of millions, likely billions throughout all time, and you have the wisdom and vision to recognize that whol process as unnatural? That would be like me saying bipeds are unnatural. After all, the ratio of bipeds to other animals is likely equal to the ratio of animals practising homosexual sex to those practising only heterosexual sex. None.
