No, the argument presented was not that homosexuality was self defeating.

The request was to provide an argument against a position that homosexuality was biologically unnatural.

The only way that homosexual acts are NOT natural is in the process of attempting to create offspring, not in the complete BIOLOGICAL sense.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, in the biological view, part of a natural happy human being is an active sex life. If the sexual appetite of an individual exhibits a preference to homosexual acts and that allows the individual to lead a happy life, free from sexual and psychological hang-ups relative to denying one's sexual preference, then it follows that a homosexual preference is 'natural'. One can consider my personal affection for chocolate as natural as it makes me feel good and provides me with sugars. But I don't NEED it. It still doesn't make a love for chocolate 'unnatural'. You might not like chocolate. It's a preference thing, not something necessary to continuation of life.

If your own sexual preference is straight sex, but you like your partner to dress a particular way, eg: her in a nurse outfit, to heighten your sexual experience, then is this considered unnatural? No, if your aim is to fulfill your sexual tastes and preferences then anything can go. BI, HOMO, bondage, sub, whatever. It's all natural in the pursuit of fulfilling the need for arousal.

However, if your sole puprose and definition of sex is to place sperm close to the location of an unfertilised egg, then only plain old sex betwee a man and a woman can be considered a 'natural' way to do so. Not even in vitro or assisted fertilisation counts.

By claiming homosexuals to be 'unnatural', by default you must also include anyone exhibiting any kind of fetish, bisexuals, people attempting medically assited fertilisation and masturbation.
You have pretty much just labelled every person on this planet who is old enough to have sex.

I pity the partner of anyone who believes sex is JUST for procreation. Get over your hangups.
