Stream of consciousness

I sometimes ponder the idea of looking to nature as guide to what is considered 'natural'…or even in some cases what is considered moral.

There's the pro-creation argument for the basis of why marriage should be between a man and a woman...

Then there's the argument that a child needs a father and a mother to raise them…

The flaws in these statements seem obvious, but I'll keep going...

I am by no means an expert, but from what I understand, animals in the wild:

• Sometimes mate for life...

• Sometimes mate with many partners in a short period...

• Sometimes mate with a partner of the same sex...

• Sometimes both parents are involved in raising the young...

• Sometimes only one parent is involved in raising the young...

• Sometimes raising the young is considered the responsibility of the community...

Doesn't that whole list match up fairly well with the reality of what happens in society…whether or not it fits what is considered as 'the norm'? No matter what any argument, religion or law tries to dictate--the evidence shows me that, in reality, variations do naturally occur.
