Homosexuality is not natural and is not normality

What do you consider natural? I consider natural as meaning found in nature. You know, the literal dictionary definition.
Perhaps you only have a pocket dictionary:

A divine law means it is of God; and as all things are, even though not everybody has the ability to see that, it is still a sin.

Not an option.

It would be most inhumane to throw those who are unable of accepting homosexuality as natural into ghetos. To say nothing of how unpractical it would be.

By any reasonable criteria, it is a far better option to be gentle with them until they realize they have nothing to truly fear. It can be done, and it is quite possibly inevitable even. I can already see a lot of positive advance since 2008 and Proposition Eight.

Live in our own group, then we can leave each other the heck alone.
You mean like, homosexual people live together somewhere in a group and heterosexuals live somewhere else together? Why? And how on earth would that work? What about the people who don't fit neatly into those categories?
