Liberal logic be like: Homosexuality is found in 450 species, and homophobia in one.
Cannibalism is found in over more than 1500 species but condemned in one.
Statistics show that Cannibalism is more natural than homosexuality.
The only thing that could make this more accurate is replacing the word "liberal" with "atheist." Oh, and some species even cannibalize THEIR OWN YOUNG.

Of course, he also ignores that said cannibalism is mostly found in very specific situations in mammals, like a famine, whereas homosexualité is found regardless of situational gain.
Nobody would need to point out that same sex attraction is, of course, natural if conservative reactionary bigots didn't claim that being gay is a crazy, unnatural abomination.
Homophobic Ass: Homosexuality is unnatural!
Some Rando Liberal: Well, that's not true, as obviously multiple species have been observed engaging in homosexual behavior.
Homophobic Ass: BUT JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS NATURAL DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOOD FOR PEOPLE! Some animals eat their own poop NATURALLY, so you think humans should be eating their own pOO!? Checkmate, gays!
So wait a freakin second here! You homophobes are constantly arguing using some sort of natural fallacy (aka "Homosexuality is unnatural and therefore evil!") and now that we have disproven that notion (something I might add is not necessary because it is already a logical fallacy) you have the guts to accuse us of using that same fallacy? That's a new level of hypocrisy! Yes, it is wrong to attribute morality to nature. But it was YOUR starting argument that did that, we just countered it!
That's it: UNNATURAL! In the old days, homosexuality was called an "unnatural crime" or "unnatural vice" - and bigots still try to claim it. So I will say that I've seen male dogs mounting each other before (and that's just one species), so that proves it's quite natural.
Tell you what, Psycho Joe, it's also natural for a female praying mantis to bite off her lover's head, during sex. I think I might be able to arrange a date for you...
Cannibalism is the eating of humans, i.e. a human has to be killed. That's harmful both to that person and to the society as a whole.
Homosexuality is the attraction and love for people of the same gender, i.e. almost the same as heterosexuality. Neither is harmful to either the people involved or to society as a whole, as long as everything are consensual.
If the young are too weak to survive, for the parents to eat them is good for both the parent (getting nutrition) and for their society as a whole. The young would have died anyway, and nature is a cold, hard place.
Well, technically cannibalism doesn't harm the dead person, because they're dead. It's just disrespectful if the person didn't consent to it before death. Murdering someone for food, or eating them alive, is another matter.
Though outside of an extreme emergency situation, it's considered to be an offense against society in general and the deceased's family specifically. Also, an improper method of corpse disposal.
Back on subject... The "smart" homophobes have switched away from "gay is unnatural" and gone for the "'gay is natural' is naturalistic fallacy", which is... actually correct. All it ever did was point out that the "gay is unnatural" argument is invalid on two levels (it's a fallacy in itself, *and* one which relies on incorrect assumptions). It's not actually a valid pro-gay argument, merely a counter, and should be treated accordingly.
Though in this case, there seems to be a (not directly stated) presumption that because an argument involves a fallacy, the opposite position must be correct - if so, then that's a fallacy in itself.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
