[Replying to 'homosexuality is natural'] I'm sure there are parents of homosexuals who would disagree.

Last time I checked, the parents don't have first hand experience with homosexuality given that they themselves aren't homosexuals.
If you want to get a genuine answer, ask an actual homosexual.
But in answer to your question: homosexuality is natural.
Homosexuality has been observed among animals, only until now, they haven't been studied because the were considered deviant.
Yet, it has been shown that among pack animals they might have a role. It has been speculated that because they, like human homosexuals tend to behave somewhat differently (meaning it may not be an entirely cultural phenomenon) they bring diversity into the collective behaviour of the pack.
Hating and fearing homosexuals, however... THAT's a truly cultural phenomenon. Tell that to all fundie parent who show their homosexual children the door.
Go gays!

I'm sure that there are monkeys out there that would disagree.
Furthermore- so? Wow its unnatural! So's Electricity and plumbing, but no-one's saying "unless we rid the world of theis terrible scourge of sanitiation we will endure a series of natural disaster from a God that loves us!"

Yeah, I saw some wolves once... four went hunting, the other stayed back and put some fabulous flower arrangements around the den.
(Yeah, I know it's a stereotype joke. But it was too easy.)
There was such a case in the town I grew up. Ultra-conservative area of Southern Germany.
The son of a well-known family in town had his "outing" at age of 18. His father immediately disinherited him.
His reaction? To move into another city at the other end of the country, studied engineering, got a good job, and he is now married to a beautiful mediterranean guy. Both are living together happily.
The only person who has a problem here is his intolerant father ... and that stays his very own problem. That he "disagrees" that homosexuality is natural, well, nobody cares. He may disagree as much as he want, his son and his lover aren't interested at all in his intolerant blabber.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
