"...if a species practiced homosexuality and the majority in the species accepted the practice, what would the odds be for the longterm viability of the species?

Does this not conflict with a basic rule of nature? Does this not conflict with the very law of survival?"

What about Nuns & Priests that abstain? Do they pose a survival threat to the species & should they be forced to procreate?

Now that argument certainly stays on point.

Simply, homosexuality cannot propagate a species that requires the fertilization of a cell derived from two different sexes. How can it? Homosexuality is the practice of sexual acts within one's gender.

Celibacy cannot of course propagate a species, either. How many "nuns and priests", however, may one find relative to the global population, and of these, how many have accepted and practice a vow of celibacy? How many break the vow, leave their respective orders? How does this correlate to the number of individuals who engage in homosexual acts?

Let's try this again: IF a species practices homosexuality, and homosexuality cannot produce future generations, that species will become extinct. IF a species practices celibacy that species will become extinct. IF the number of individuals behaving in a manner inconsistent with the basics of survival of self or species reaches a certain threshold, that species will falter and eventually fail. IF this subject species with these requirements of reproduction practices any behavior that conflicts with the reproduction of itself, then how can that species survive?

Do you note the use of the hypothetical? It's a distinction that's important to note, as you are instead blending a "what if" with that of a given.

It's nothing more than very simple science, very simple, and it does not bring into the debate the Biblical view which is quite clear on the subject as well.

If one refuses what one finds in Scripture, and one refuses what one finds in science, then it's also very clear that one simply demands to behave in a manner that is quite selfish, giving no regard to anyone else at all, whether this be self, society or one's species.
