In your post to Ren you state that homosexual does not produce offspring and is therefore unnatural.
A lot of animal behaviour does not produce offspring, sometimes it kills them and is still considered natural.
And again, if nature produces them, they are natural, whatever you think nature should have intended.
On moral absolutes:
If I fuck a guy to prevent a child from being raped, my actions would be what, if seen from an absolute moral point of view?
Yes, there are no moral absolutes because, no, there is no final moral authority.
Tough luck, but most people tend to live quite well with that.
Morality doesn’t apply to animals. Animals don’t think at the conceptual level and are outside the bounds of ethics.
Ethics during emergencies, such as preventing a child’s murder, becomes a matter of value — do you value the child’s life higher than degrading yourself with a homosexual act? Most people would, so you made an ethical choice.
Morality is absolute, because it is based upon the definition of Man. There is no need for any ‘authority’ because you were born with this characteristic (being human). To be a man requires that you be moral.
You are actually moral all the time: Is it good to drive on the proper side of the road? Yes or no? Your answer depends on your morals. Is it good to cheat my business partner out of this money? Yes or no? Your answer depends on your morals. You actually make moral decisions all the time, even if you don’t know it (the libs want you to forget).

You are starving, and may die if you do not eat soon. Another starving, but smaller, person is with you, and has some food. Do you take it from him/her?
A man has just attempted to kill you, you are holding a gun, and he no longer has a means to harm you. Do you shoot/kill him?
Try those on. The answers will be different for different people.
Lets try this now:
In ancient Rome and Greece, homosexual was not considered evil. At all.
There is certainly a absolute motivation for our morals. Pro-life advocates and pro-choice advocates essentially are motivated by the same reason. The prevention of human suffering. But they have completely different views on what is and what is not moral.
And shouldn’t you consider killing immoral? Isn’t the purpose of a soldier to kill? Isn’t that anti-life?
