SINCE THE DISCUSSION IS ABOUT WHETHER IT'S NATURAL, NOT WHETHER THEY'RE "A NATURAL" ALL NOUN DEFINITIONS CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED IRRELEVANT.
Perhaps by a "perfectly functioning" dictionary "in your head" you refer to a small pocket dictionary that you've crammed into your mouth to gum on like an infant. Additionally you'll note that none of these definitions match that of Believe It!'s.
Now if you go into the subject of "natural law" well first you're escaping the sinking ship of failed argument into the lifeboat of tangent. Second, look at all the definitions of "Natural Law".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law
Just look at that mess. Natural law is more of a buzzword than any coherent and unified philosophical principal. A number of concepts of natural law are based on divine mandate, i.e. what god "naturally" intended from us which, in an example of scathing historical irony, means that some versions of natural law are supernatural in their axiomatic basis. The concept of natural law is so shotgunned that I can use selective interpretations to show that homosexuality is both natural and unnatural due to conflicting concepts between classical, theological and post-classical versions of "natural law".
Trying to tie in the statement that "homosexuality is not natural" into some interpretation of natural law is as valid an argument as saying that "homosexuality is not natural" because it doesn't involve a poker hand devoid of wild cards. Now that I've torn down your veil of pretentious tangential spitballing I suggest you get that dictionary in your head check out as it seems to be cutting off the bloodflow to your brain's cognitive centers.
Stop trying to tell people that everything is a metaphor, reference or allusion to something else and that stupid shit is smart if you make enough vague, obtuse connection because nobody's buying it. The gig's up Brennin. STFU time.
