Gay life 'Against Laws of Nature? NO!

[caseycoon]

The argument that a homosexual way of living cannot be accepted because it is against the "laws of nature" can now be rejected scientifically.

Scroll down to the WORLD section for Homosexual animals 'out of closet'.

A first-ever museum display, "Against Nature?," which opened last month at the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum in Norway, presents 51 species of animals exhibiting homosexuality.
"Homosexuality has been observed in more than 1,500 species, and the phenomenon has been well described for 500 of them," said Petter Bockman, project coordinator of the exhibition.

For pleasure

However, species continuation may not always be the ultimate goal, as many animals, including humans, engage in sexual activities more than is necessary for reproduction.

"You can make up all kinds of stories: Oh it's for dominance, it's for this, it's for that, but when it comes down to the bottom I think it's just for sexual pleasure," Wolfe told LiveScience.
Conversely, some argue that homosexual sex could have a bigger natural cause than just pure ecstasy: namely evolutionary benefits.
Copulation could be used for alliance and protection among animals of the same sex. In situations when a species is mostly bisexual, homosexual relationships allow an animal to join a pack.

MORE, but it sure shoots that ol' 'against the Laws of Nature' BS down. :toast:

8. I just put that to shorten the subject line

Sorry.

I was glad to see the article because I have heard people say homosexuality is against the laws of nature & this PROVES they are full of shit.

[Sapere aude]

3. Laws of nature? How about heterosexuals who have anal sex? Is that

against laws of nature? How about the woman on top position is that against the laws of nature?

Actually I don't pay attention to those kinds of ideas. Who really gives a hoot what consenting adults do sexually as long as it isn't hurting any of them.

These Eight words the Rede fulfill:

"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

[caseycoon]

6. NONONO!

What this says is that it is a perfectly natual thing which is what I believe & it PROVES it.

9. Those of us who are in the fight to end the hostility toward

gays must pay attention to these kinds of ideas! You are right that it doesn't matter and isn't anybody's business what goes on in our neighbor's bedroom, yet there are a lot of people out there who believe the opposite is true. We need to destroy every argument that claims homosexuality is unnatural at the same time as we destroy the argument that it is immoral. I want there to be no patch of rhetorical ground upon which the homophobe might stand.

[caseycoon]

11. YES!

This article shoots down that one stupid argument.

[crim son]

12. Yep. And there is more and more evidence for a

physiological basis for homosexuality in human beings. There are a lot of self-righteous bigots out there who won't know what to do when the science is conclusive. I look forward to helping them learn the truth :)

[caseycoon]

14. Sure would be nice...

if the assholes were fast learners....

[crim son]

15. They aren't.

Time is on our side, however.

[caseycoon]

16. I know they aren't, but attitudes are changing

with the internet more & more 'different folks' are meeting lots of folks with 'different strokes' and I don't mean only gays & straights, but the whole thing is breeding more acceptance of other lifestyles & that's a good thing! Once people get communicating they can realize we (humans) everywhere & everyhow ain't so different after all.

4. If God wanted sex to serve such a limited use,

we would only achieve sexual maturity on our wedding days. Also, he wouldn't have created gays and lesbians.

[caseycoon]

10. EXACTLY!

The whole premise the homophobes operate on is pure bullshit!

[Chichiri]

5. Two words: Naturalistic Fallacy.

Reviews
All Music Guide
The 1961 Broadway musical The Gay Life was a failure, running only 113 performances and losing its entire investment. The reasons for that failure have been ascribed to the show's book, set in turn-of-the-century Vienna, concerning the last bachelor days of a womanizer, and to the casting of Walter Chiari in the leading role. But no one has blamed the score, which represented the reunion of composer Arthur Schwartz and lyricist Howard Dietz after 13 years. While no hits emerged from that score, it did boast several memorable songs, among them the ballads "Magic Moment" and "Something You Never Had Before," and the up-tempo gypsy number "Come A-Wandering With Me." Both of those ballads were sung by the cast's chief asset, Barbara Cook, in the role of the bride who finally ends the main character's philandering. But those are only the high points in a collection of songs that is consistently impressive. Schwartz and Dietz were better known for contemporary revues than for period book musicals, but the composer proved himself the equal of Richard Rodgers and Frederick Loewe in writing melodic waltzes, and the lyricist showed that his witty wordplay could work anywhere. The show's flaws are apparent on the cast recording, however, particularly when Chiari opens his mouth; his accent is so strong that it is sometimes difficult to make out the lyrics. But all is forgiven when Cook is the singer, and Elizabeth Allen, in her only number, turns "Come A-Wandering With Me" into a tour de force. The result is the kind of album likely to be appreciated more by theater music fans than the general public, though it makes the best of a musical that didn't work on-stage. ~ Matt Collar & William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
