#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.

First you equate homosexuality with being "red haired" or "having type O blood" and on the next point you equate it to being an "attraction" or "fetish". That just completely blew away your argument.
An attraction/fetish is not something you are born with, while being red haired or having type O blood is. Next thing you know you will be saying that murderers are naturally born.
Retardation is uncommon in births as well. Shall we put it on the same level as homosexuality? Fact is lots of these "abnormalities" have negative impacts on the persons life.
Homosexuality is abnormal and serves no proven scientific or natural purpose, PERIOD.
That being said I dont care who is or isnt homosexual or who is or isnt retarded, for instance I know you are retarded and I dont hold it against you.
