    An ex-priest was telling us that homosexuals were an aberration (Catholic school). We told him that homosexuality existed in nature, the only thing that’s an aberration is being celibate

      Homosexuality exists across nature.

      Homophobia is only found in one species.

      I get the intention here but being celibate isn’t an aberration either, celibacy exists in nature too, and there are plenty of people who are voluntarily celibate for reasons other than religion, such as many asexual people.

      Went to catholic school myself and had a similar argument with the ex-priest teacher in our religion class.

      The slight difference is, it got me signed up for the debate team lol.
