Those feelings and tendencies are made by man, not by any natural force. they are passed down from parents to children, from teachers to students. Little by little it is changing, and in 20-40 years, 90% of the population would not even consider anything 'unnatural" about it.

Of course I realize this; I only provided it as a reason for why a high number of people react so strongly to this one issue. I seriously doubt that even a fraction of the population recognizes that their own impulses and feelings are socially driven. For most of us, it is quite natural to expect that everyone else around me feels like I do: When you watch a terrible film, your initial thought is that everyone else in the same theatre believes it to be equally terrible.
