If you go in for surgery to correct a life threatening condition then by definition your life is not continuining in a natural way. I assuming here an example of a condition that is fatal and could not possibly resolve itself. Would you reject the offer of medical intervention? For yourself? For your family? The argument that life should continue in a "natural" way has been well and truly undermined time and time again, but I don`t see mainstream Christians demanding that hospitals be brought down.
In fact, by defining homosexuality as a "quirk of nature" you are implicitly defining it as an aspect of nature. Given that there is no way that you could define invasive surgery as a "quirk of nature", does that mean that homosexuality is more natural than going in to hospital?

Can I assume you have no problem with bisexuality as that allows the species to continue in a natural fashion?

Today as an adult where I have the choice rather than be adopted by any gay family, a gas chamber sounds good, or the electric chair, life on the streets, (somewhere i have also been), back to a home or even borstal would be more appealing.

Is it not possible that a child raised in such an environment would not be instilled with such prejudices, thus rendering the question about your frankly irrational statements irrelevant?
I don`t want to debate the background of your upbringing in detail as that is neither necessary nor fair, but I am forced to ask what issues this has left you with. If you are arguing that you would rather be in a violent, heterosexual household as a child rather than a loving, homosexual household then I don think that you have some rather major issues that need to be resolved. Can you honestly say that the violent option is the preferable environment in which to raise a child?
