Is being gay/lesbian normal/natural?

Now I don't mean to sound ignorant or mean or offend anyone. And before people get all judgemental and start rwporting me just know my bestfriend is a lesbian whom I openly support and encourage to live her life her way. It's just that I wonder, isn't it against nature to have feelings for the same sex? Shouldn't opposites attract? Isn't that supposed to be the basic design of nature?

P.S: Please channel your efforts into healthy debates and discussion rather than irrational abuses and hate.

It occurs in nature and does not seem to be a recent phenomenon (e.g., you can look back at accounts of homosexuality in Ancient Greece). It does not seem to be evolutionarily advantageous, since gay couples can't have children, but there are plenty of examples of people being born with something that's not evolutionarily advantageous.

@Madelyn That's the most valid argument I've ever heard on this topic. Thank you.
