I would say that homosexuality is only as natural as attraction is, and only as sinful as nature can be. To explain, I must backtrack to further expound on sexuality. There is a certain glorification among many on the ideal of love, saying that it is "holy," "sacred," or even "spiritual." If this were the case, what of the love that is to be found in the animal kingdom? For instance, swans pick partners for life, and stay together for life. Many can argue this is not love, but when the divorce rate is 50% (as it is in the U.S.), one could more logically argue humans love less. So love can be easily deduced as a bi-product of attraction, nothing more and nothing less. The fact that most are attracted to the opposite sex can be deduced chemically and environmentally, the fact that others are attracted to those of the same sex can be deduced by the same measures. Are homosexual acts natural or sinful? They are a bi-product of attraction, which is a natural phenomena. Are they sinful? They could be, given your definition of sin. But to say that homosexual acts must be one or the other is to deduce a polarity between natural and sinful which simply does not exist. Murder is natural among humans, but it is also sin (to those who recognize sin). The same as homosexuality, it is always natural, but whether it is sin or not mostly depends upon who you are talking to. Not either one or the other, rather a combination of the two.
