I'd have to argue the point that homosexuality isn't natural.

It might not be liked, and it's certainly a minority, but it has been a part of every society since time began, as well as in every species of other animals. Therefore, by it's very defintion, it's part of nature.

As for the advert, it's just a clever piece of marketing. The ad men knew there would be complaints from the narrow minded loonies, and all the extra publicity it's garnered is priceless.
