#1 We are animals. I really don't feel like regurgitating 6th grade Biology class to you, but I'm sure you can pull up some information on this.

#2 Well it's occured since the beginning of mankind. You can find homosexuality in Egyptian, Greek, and other ancient cultures. So in your mind it may be unnatural, but it is a naturally occurring presence throughout the history of mankind.

#3 Define common? Recent surveys have put the number of homosexuals between 2-5% of the population. They've also found between 10-15% of the population has had same sex attractions. So sure it's uncommon in a sense, just as type-O blood, being left handed, and having red hair is uncommon.

#4 This depends on your theory of natural. How can one describe their sexual attractions as natural or unnatural. Is it natural to want to screw fat chicks? Or have a fetish to be tied up in a dungeon and spanked? I think everyone has their buttons that turn them on sexually. To call one natural and another unnatural is difficult.
