Is Homosexuality Natural?

***This is not a homophobic question so please don't kick me out.

By natural, I do not mean does it occur in nature. Clearly it does since it occurs in us, and pointing at lions or bonobos as proof adds no more information than we already knew about ourselves.

Still, is it natural? How do we define natural? There are a lot of things that occur in nature that we don't consider natural: An animal with two heads. A set of conjoined twins. Down's Syndrome. Is homosexuality among them?

I want to be clear, I'm not asking if homosexuality is a bad thing, or whatever other negative connotations you want to imply from my question.
