I disagree with karma because it gives people excuses to not be humane.
The opposite is true. If I know and understand karmic law then I do only acts of kindness and respect toward others.

Survival is one of the contexts in which child molestation is wrong. Another context would be what you call decency or what I call humanness.
The overall point of the post was to show how in a human context, child molestation is wrong.
Homosexuality is between two individuals doing it. You cannot intervene. It is their right.
After all, we are an unnatural species

Not sure about that. Would you favor we let anything natural pass? What defined natural anyway? The very word natural implies division. What if an antimatter star went supernova and decayed all the worlds around it. By all means it is natural. Is it not our right to stop it?
Far off topic perhaps. But to say all things are natural are questionable. The very word natural must be rethought in necessity.

Look at India if you want an example of where that type of thinking leads to. Actually go there and see for yourself.

Humanity, however, does not follow logic naturally. How can something be natural within the universe if it fails to follow the logic of that very universe it is part of. It is like a cancer. Is cancer natural? It leads to death.

The state of India is more connected to philosophies of fatalism than philosophies of Karma. Karma is the opposite of fatalism, it is 100% responsibility and accountability. It is the same as when Jesus said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". He obviously underestood karmic law.
Even though the idea of Karma originates in India/Hinduism, today it is not understood in its original term and meaning.
