4. Line? Why? Oral sex is pretty "unnatural" but i'd hate to be the one to tell the TFP that that was being outlawed.

5. Nothing about modern life is natural.
6. Homosexuality is a state of being, not a action placed upon unwilling people.
etc. etc. etc.
I don't exactly see what's so convincing about this argument. What does "naturalness" have to do with human behavior? We're sitting on computers, most likely watching television, eating pre-packaged food, wearing clothes made in other countries by people we don't even know, sitting under artificial light, surrounded by artificial things. If you're going to attack something on a "natural" argument, you should start with the big ones rather than focusing on something that doesn't affect us as totally as technology does.
