Are you the type of person who equates the natural with the good?

An example of the naturalistic fallacy

I sometimes come across people who, in all sincerity, try to make the case that something is good simply because "it's natural", but I guess it never occurred to them that cancer, old age and death are also perfectly natural, but they're certainly not good for anyone.

Except the arguments are usually "homosexuality is unnatural therefore it is immoral" but it is natural so that is just incorrect.

Love is love. Fuck everyone who tries to stop people from loving each other simply because they're the same sex.

Yes natural doesn't= good. But it's also doesn't= bad.

[Siri137]

Yes, true. Maybe I should have selected a different example of the fallacy, one that isn't so personal and political, but surprisingly enough in the images section of Google there weren't any that came close to being an actual example (most were just definitions of the fallacy, and many weren't even that).
However, people have unfortunately said this, they've used examples within nature to argue that their position on homosexuality is correct, and for that reason alone, but that just doesn't work, that isn't convincing.

I've only ever seen it as a counter argument. However, I don't believe you can argue against a persons sexuality i. e love.

[JustinTheGreat]

I agree with the other user that I’ve only ever seen that used as a counter argument to defend homosexuality.

[Mansearching]

In a general sense.

We all know not all natural things are good. But its not all bad either.

[Anonymous]

No, but I also don't consider homosexuality to be immoral.
