Common Sense and Homosexuality

Virtually all societies throughout history have condemned homosexuality.  Why is this true?  How plausible is it to assume that virtually every society in the history of mankind has come to the same conclusion about homosexuality by chance?  Statistically, the chances of this conclusion are infinitesimal.  It is much more plausible to believe that they have come to the same conclusion because they've all been endowed with the same self-evident moral values, which are derived from the standard we've been calling "the Moral Law."  In other words, societies throughout history have condemned homosexuality precisely because this moral intuition has evoked a sense of guilt in those who practice it.
