I think you were closer to the mark when you said it's not right vs. left. For example, the left is going to instantly reject the naturalistic fallacy in the arena of gay rights or trans issues. Even though you can make the point that animals also have same-sex relationships for example, one of the tired, simplistic memes leveled in support of homosexuality being wrong is that it's somehow just "not natural", that it defies procreation. The best answer to that isn't "actually it is natural because animals do it too", it's that the whole line of inquiry is completely irrelevant.
