DISCLAIMER!!!
I have NO problem with homosexuality, I think people should have whatever type of relationship they want as long as it's between consenting adults. If the rights of homosexuals were ever invoked I'd be one of the first people to stand up for them.
Also I;m an Atheist so there will me no talk of religious beliefs in my statement.


I don't think homosexuality is natural. One of my very unpopular opinions, so unpopular that I can't wait to read all the hate comments from people who read the title to only skip the details and just go on assumption, but you're alright since you've read this far at least.
So I don't think homosexuality is natural because nature (and biology) has given all of the species of this planet 2 genders (there are only 2), the reason we have intimacy and sexual organs is to reproduce and populate the Earth with more of our species. One of each gender is required to reproduce, but in the case of homosexuality there isn't that key factor and you're basically going against nature (not in a big way though). It's unnatural since they practice mating rituals with each other (go ahead and laugh, I did) but there are no possible way that they're going to reproduce and make their own offspring.
But they can do whatever, I'm just glad that they're happy, and yes I think they should have the right to marriage and child adoption, they should be able to live their lives the same way as anyone else would, their relationship is none of my business or anyone else's.

And before any religious right wing nutjob uses this to push their anti gay narrative by saying "being gay is wrong because it's unnatural," well using computers and cellphones is unnatural too and what are you using right now? Also cars, planes, electricity, internet, processed food are all unnatural too and you use them in your daily lives, so don't be hypocritical.

In business we write a MOU to communicate expectations clearly. So much of the problems in these often perplexing and confoudning times of relationships evolves around expectations, trust, and breaking assumed contract. If there is a stated position and even better... consequences, it would seem to resolve a lot of matters. Here's an example for which you can improve I'm sure. It doesn't have to be legal.

I am not saying have a lawyer draw this up, that it can't be changed or someone change their mind, nor is it legally binding. I'm saying... communicate and be honest. Other topics like... sex before marriage, living together and such seem appropriate.
