If someone, like me for an example, has apprehensions that homosexuality is something that is forced and aggrandized through pop culture, as in, if you never knew there was such a thing, it would go away; Would such an assumption be incorrect?
Can you elaborate what you mean here? It sounds like you're saying, 'What would you say if I said that if pop culture and the media didn't keep talking about homosexuality and making it OK, then it would just go away' - but that's a pretty harsh position so I'm doubtful that's what you mean.
I think this somewhat answers your question though: Homosexuality has been around for thousands of years, there's a lot of evidence of homosexual behaviour and activities in many ancient cultures and societies, so it's not a byproduct of modern life, it's existed for a long time.
Alright.
Why do you think it is difficult for some straight people to digest homosexuality? A certain number of straight folks who are secure about their sexuality find it repulsive, are they right in harboring such emotions?
Evolutionary biology suggests that aversion to gay people could be the byproduct of an adaptation. Our 'purpose' is to propagate our genetic code, and being gay isn't conducive to this because if you're gay it's unlikely you're going to have kids, and thus you won't be propagating your genes. Thus it makes logical sense that evolving in a way that made it so that one didn't find the same sex attractive at all, or the thought of sex with a same sex person was repulsive could be beneficial. If that is indeed the case, than that is a good reason why we might view homosexuality as disgusting or repulsive, because we evolved to find it disgusting as a means for avoiding fruitless sexual endeavours.
It's not wrong to find thoughts of having sex with the same sex to be repulsive, it seems like we evolved that way and it's entirely natural. I personally don't enjoy the thought of having sex with another man, it's not for me, but that doesn't have to infect your thoughts on other people who do enjoy that.
Well put.
Now I need to ask, Sex is a measure for reproducing and keeping a species alive scientifically speaking. In this day and age however it is a means of the ultimate pleasure. However in a hetero relationship it is applicable as it is how nature works, male impregnates the female.
Is this why a homosexual relationship is deemed unnatural?
For one, even if something was unnatural, it doesn't means it's morally or ethically bad necessarily, that's the naturalistic fallacy.
Regardless of that though, if anything, homosexual
is a natural thing. The fact is that there is a lot of evidence to show that homosexuality has been around for a long, long time and had permeated other societies and cultures. I think it's likely to say that homosexuality is a genetically inherited trait, there doesn't seem to be much evidence for that, but homosexuality keeps occurring so there's likely a reason for it.
There's some hypotheses with some evidence behind them to suggest that a homosexual son for example is more beneficial in certain circumstances than are heterosexual sons, like when there is a lot of competition among males for other females, and thus it would be profitable to have a gay son that would help existing relatives find mates and have children rather than competing himself.
There's another hypothesis about homosexual sons being more caring and giving than heterosexual relatives, and thus that's a potential benefit. There's another hypothesis that when a woman has a male child, some of the male hormones linger about in the mother, and the mother's body creates enzymes that destroy these hormones. After having two or three male children in a row, these enzymes could become too good at their good, or there might be too many of them, and when the next male child comes along, those enzymes destroy too much of that child's male hormones and thus the outcome is a gay child - there's some evidence for that hypothesis.
The point is that evidence suggests that homosexuality isn't a choice, it's a byproduct or an adaptation - we don't know which and we don't know exactly how or why it happens - but to call it unnatural makes no sense because it's naturally occurring across thousands of years.
