When it comes to sexuality, there is but one true and universal principle: woman was created for man, and vice versa. A man and woman, irregardless of race or religious preference, are able to copulate on their own. It's the natural order of things. Two men or two women? That can't and won't work, from a secular or non-secular perspective.
Take a look at your ceiling (assuming you have one), and look at the light bulb (assuming there is one). Don't stare at it dumbass, just look or glance. Could such luminance be possible with two bulbs or two sockets? No. The natural design is for one bulb, one socket...light.
Your argument rests on the assumption that sex is only a "natural" behavior if the intent is procreation.
If it wasn't for the reproductive organs, there would be no homosexuality or heterosexuality. The standpoint I argue from is justified.

But then why does homosexuality occur among animals?
Exactly, animals indeed. I've been asking myself the same thing.

Calling that "ludicrous" is to completely ignore context. However much progress gays have made over the past 30 or 40 years, homophobia is still prevalent in American society. Do you think anyone dreads admitting to their parents that they're straight? And when was the last time you heard of someone being beaten to death just because they were straight? Personally, I'm somewhat bi-curious, and it was a long time before I could admit that to myself, and there are some people I don't think I could ever admit that to, because of the way society looks at homosexuality. The idea of gay pride is based on the belief that homosexuality shouldn't be stigmatized, that young gays shouldn't have to grow up keeping some kind of terrible secret from the world. In a society where gays have traditionally been marginalized and persecuted, the idea of "straight pride" only serves to reinforce the stigma against homosexuality.
It's amazing what people will ignore to emphasize their own points. Did I say homosexuals were the majority (other than this site)?
No. My point can be better addressed with an example, which occured in at my high school: a gay guy was wearing a light blue shirt in my math class that said "Gay Pride, I Won't Hide". He received compliments from a plethora of people, and even the teacher nicely commented on it. Lo and behold, about a day later, a friend of mine wears a navy blue shirt that has in green letters, Straight Pride. Both were expressing their sexuality...the latter had to leave school grounds immediately, and received a day's suspension.
