Its inherently programmed into our genetics due to a hormonal switched at birth, or just merely a male possessing female hormones, or a female processing male hormones; so logically, they're attracted to their own sex, because its actually (hormonally) their opposite-sex. Genetic dispositions are not ( in my opinion) mutations, so its logical to ascertain that non-pro-creators are as normal as pro-creators. So scientifically and psychologically speaking its as natural as its heterosexual counterpart. - Johnny Luckett",

But you can make your time together anything but dirty, you can give each other something which will make both of you better—forever—if you will not be ashamed, if you will only not play it safe.’ He paused, watching me, and then looked down to his cognac. ‘You play it safe long enough,’ he said, in a different tone, ‘and you’ll end up trapped in your own dirty body, forever and forever and forever—like me.”",
