Homosexuality can be unnatural without ever judging or discriminating. Social contradictions can also be unnatural in the very same way. Though none of these conditions impact the reality of human reactions either. Whether it be religious intolerance or moral values, it most likely makes no difference, since people will react to such indifference regardless of the cover.
John, most people interpret the word "unnatural" to be on the same side of the fence as "wrong" "Natural," conversely is on the "right" side of the fence.
So when you say that homosexuality is unnatural it can be interpreted by the average person as saying it is wrong. My apologies if I misinterpreted, but your asserted statement of "they are sick" to your children about 2 men holding hands (presumed gay couple) further supports this assumption. Of course, I could be misinterpreting this as well. You could be making the "sick" statement with no more condemnation than "they have cancer" or "they are old." However, "sick" is another word that is generally accepted on the, shall we say, undesireable side of things.
Thus I hope you will forgive me for making the logical leap that you are calling homosexuality and gay marriage, wrong.
