They can be taught: I rely on what god taught in the Bible: homosexual males who engage in sex is sinful and therefore both should be killed [homosexual sex is immoral].

And they can be developed: in as much as I've found that homosexual sexual behavior hurts no one, there is no reason to denounce it. So in this case, live and let live. [homosexual sex is moral]

Homosexuals cannot procreate.

We agree on this one

So what?

I agree, it is none of my business

The point of this thread is to show the difference between humans and other animals. We reflect on human behavior by creating on stage plays acting out characters in different settings. This evolved into TV shows and sitcoms. In every case a good moral value appears which creates a good teaching tool for our children to watch.

Gay people can procreate with knowledge gained from science (though I think more people, gay or straight or bi or trans or whatever, should adopt when possible instead of spending time and money on fertility treatments).

I've found morality is a human construct created to evaluate the actions of others. Morality changes over time, geographic boundaries, cultures, etc. I don't see one, universal moral code anywhere. So, while the 'act of being moral' seems to be a part of humanity, what's moral and what's not is taught and or learned based on things like the time, circumstance, society, etc.

Is morality instinctive or learned behaviour?

I think both. Acting on a little empathy and sympathy (which are innate) suggests morality is instinctive. But there are those sociopaths who seem to lack both empathy and sympathy, and need to be taught ordinary, decent behaviour.
