As far as I know there are no gay relatives in my family but I would like to make an observation if I may.
I am a devoted animal lover who watches nature programs all the time. I am always coming across examples of homosexuality in the animal kingdom. How can anyone say it is unnatural to be gay when it happens all the time in just about every species that has been studied from gut worms to primates!
I used to breed guinnea pigs and several of them turned out to be gay. One in particular was very handsome and would have made a superb stud, but he was only interested in other male pigs, the females just left him cold. He obviously had not read his bible lol.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia.
A 1999 review by researcher Bruce Bagemihl shows that homosexual behavior has been observed in close to 1,500 species, ranging from primates to gut worms, and is well documented for 500 of them. [1] [2]Animal sexual behavior takes many different forms, even within the same species. The motivations for and implications of these behaviors have yet to be fully understood, since most species have yet to be fully studied. [3] According to Bagemihl, "the animal kingdom [does] it with much greater sexual diversity — including homosexual, bisexual and nonreproductive sex — than the scientific community and society at large have previously been willing to accept." [4] Current research indicates that various forms of same-sex sexual behavior are found throughout the animal kingdom. [5] A new review made in 2009 of existing research showed that same-sex behavior is a nearly universal phenomenon in the animal kingdom, common across species. [6]
Being gay is a fact of life, whatever species you happen to be. It is no more unnatural than being left handed. Many faiths put humans on a pedestal as being created 'in God's image' and therefore above basic animal traits, but at the end of the day we are just living creatures with the same traits as most other species.
Of course, the problem remains in trying to persuade brain washed JW relatives to accept this information, but there is no harm in trying.
Take care of yourselves
