"Being gay is gay" is the tautology this whole thing will eventually evolve to as all their arguments get refuted one by one.
I wouldn't bet on it. If they cared about their arguments getting refuted via logic and/or facts, then they'd already have dropped their bullshit.
No, they're emotionally still children taught by bullies how to "win" by refusing to back down no matter what, and that "might makes right" so they all back each other up. It unfortunately all too often works for them by simply wearing out their opponents - who can't fathom not giving AF about the facts, and/or just don't know how to defeat such obstinance.
This is the sort of argument that might stick though "oh yea well world's oldest tortoise is a 150 gay monogomous male tortoise named Jonathan". The problem starts when people begin their discussions like "well scientific studies show that...". You should treat them like they have the attention span of a toddler.
If that's the required MO, then I don't see the point in even bothering. Reality is virtually always going to be more complicated than those arrogantly making such basic erroneous assertions are going to be willing to deal with. That attitude of "I'm right no matter what" is driven by deep insecurities that have long since been forgotten as their real motivations after they buried them in overcompensating mountains of false bravado. You can ELI5 all you want, but if they're not as open to learning new things as someone who actually is a 5yo, then odds are extremely high that you'll just be wasting your time.
Yeah but to him it seemed like about a year and a half.
Swans are also apparently Hella gay so.....
AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES!
No. They were best friends who lived together. (Don't worry, I know the vine you're talking about haha)

When I was a teen I asked my religious homophobic grandma if animals dont have rational thought but can still be gay, how did they "choose" to be gay? Her response? Gay penguins dont have souls so it doesnt count.
Just shows you that people like that just want a neat and tidy (thought terminating) answer, rather than to know the actual truth.

It's cute and all but... I really hate that arguement. If it wasn't natural, it wouldn't make it any less moral. We don't need to play by their rhetorical rules. I know that this is just a cute thing, but I see this kind of things all the time and I feel quite strongly about it. So what if I wasn't born this way? So what if it's not natural? Does it somehow make things worse? Or is just an excuse to justify hatred of something that just grosses the 'phobes out?... y'know?
Of course it is a dumb argument, but it is to refute the even dumber argument that somehow homosexuality isn't natural.
My point is that we shouldn't even entertain the question in the first place. It doesn't matter if it's natural or not. If it was unnatural, it wouldn't make it any less moral or okay.

Turtles are the horniest animals on the planet.
If you don't have enough girls per male, they will not be able to eat or drink because they are constantly molested by the fuckmachine males.
If you want to live with turtles, don't mix genders, or get a whole lot of turtles..
These are tortoises, not turtles.

What is a tortoise anyway? Is it just a fancy way to say “turtle”? Well, actually, there’s a meaningful difference between tortoises and other turtles. All tortoises are in fact turtles—that is, they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia, reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell—but not all turtles are tortoises. If tortoises are turtles, why not just call all turtlelike creatures “turtle”? Because if the animal you’re referring to is a tortoise, some wise guy is going to correct you every time.
Hi, it's me 👋
