your argument with my "appral to nature" is completely off base. My claim is 100% logic.

all animals (excepting humans for now) have gay populations.
humans are animals.
therefore humans amust have gay populations.

a=b
x=a
therefore x=b
logic is mathematical.

No, it is completely based off of an uncertified and undescribed premise, which is that all species are alike.

It is 100% not complete logic.

This is strawman. He said all animals (except) humans display homosexuality. Not, "All species are alike". Astonishing that in a thread about fallacies is one found.

How did you get from

"all animals (excepting humans for now) have gay populations."

to

"to humans must have gay populations"

?

 

The answer is simple, he assumed that all species in the animal kingdom are alike. Exactly what I stated.

It's missing from his logic, and I personally believe it to be false.

No strawman here, sorry.
