Is Homosexuality Natural?
As always, you are required to consider arguments on both sides of the
issue, and make your decision based purely on the evidence.
It might be helpful to compare this question to various other questions,
like:
Is diabetes natural?
Is celibacy natural?
Is religion natural?
Or you might eventually want to think about reframing the issue, and considering further questions, such as:
Is homosexuality a choice?
Is homosexuality a mental disorder?
Is homosexuality healthy?
Whichever question you pick, scan some of the articles linked below to find one argument to the effect that homosexuality is natural, one argument to the effect that it isn't, logically analyze both arguments, and write a paper stating which one fails, and why it fails,
