This didn't happen to me, but it seems like you were saying that if something "is", then it must be natural? The altered plants/animals was a better example though. Things have gotten off topic though for sure.

Not sure if it is an alien trait lol. In my family though I have found through time that a high amount of men are gay/bisexual on my mother's side of the family.

I renounce the theory that is about abuse.

I think you are equating natural with good; sometimes the things that happen in nature are cruel and unpleasent, but that is still natural, so yes unusual and unpleasent behaviour in human beings and the results on their victims is still natural. It is natural because the brains of these people have naturally developed. It is natural but it is also wrong, and we as thinking concious creatures know our actions to be wrong and can hopefully change it or stop it.
Nature alters plants and animals, why shouldn't mankind do it? If mankind is but another manifestation of nature then that is still natural; for a spieces to develop tools that can eventually alter the essence of life itself.
I note you are religous, and I do not intend to disrespect your beliefs and way of life, but you ought perhaps to extend beyond the religous texts of what the natural world really. Surely if your God has fashioned such a marvellous, complex entity as man, then God's actions are reflected in the actions of Man.

Here's a possibility I've seen in many gay friends of both genders growing up: that child abuse often is a response to gay traits at any early age.
