What does Wicca say about homosexuality? Do the Pagan Deities oppose same-sex relations the same as the Christian God does? Since Wicca is predominately rooted in nature, is homosexuality natural?

Wicca is not a doctrinal religion, so the phrase “What does Wicca say” is kind of an anathema. That said, there is a very popular piece of ritual poetry that includes the line “All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals” (voiced by the Goddess.) So there is not only no prohibition against homosexual acts, there is an encouragement to enjoy such *if it appeals*.
Some commentators have suggested that due to the dualistic nature of our rites, only procreative couplings are acceptable *within the circle*. This is now mostly considered indicative of the mores of the times during which Wicca was developed (1940s or so). I have found that two witches in female bodies can raise as much generative energy as a male and female bodied witch if the balances are right. As I am female bodied, I must take the word of Priests who have male working partners that the same is true of male-male bodied working partners.

Overall, Wicca is a very open and accepting religion when it comes to all positive and joyful forms of sexuality. Most of us recognize that receptive (feminine) and expansive (masculine) energies are present in varying balance in each individual. I find that there is very little possible in nature that I would deem “unnatural”.
