	There are lots of things observed in nature. That does not make those 
things appropriate... especially if you take in to account that Man is 
not a mere animal but made in the very image of God. Going back to the 
Bible, let's forget about the verses that directly prohibit homosexual 
activity for a moment. ALL sexual activity outside of wedlock is 
prohibited clearly and explicitly.

	Marriage is clearly defined as being between a man and a woman 
throughout the Bible. "Therefore a man will leave his father and his 
mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh" 
(Genesis 2:24).

	I don't know what to make of homosexual penguins. Perhaps its part of 
the Fall -- everything is corrupted from the Fall. Or maybe it is fine 
among animals, just as I do not believe my cat is sinful for killing a 
bug as an amusing afternoon game, but it would be sinful if one did the 
same to a fellow human.

	The key goes back to what does the Bible say? If the Bible says this 
is wrong (and heterosexual pre/extra-marital sex is also wrong), then 
what can we truly argue? That the Bible is mostly right? Sort of right? 
Maybe right? Does that mean Jesus's atonement for your sins and my sins 
is sorta true and maybe enough?
