Normal Sexuality is defined by what is more common.

I don’t know that it is as common as you suggest for the retort to be that being straight is just your orientation. I would imagine that the vast majority of homosexual people (I’m one of them) accept that the vast majority of people will find themselves attracted — assuming we’re speaking in sexual terms — to the opposite sex. I imagine no future in which there is a majority of people who find themselves attracted to members of the same sex. I imagine, in fact, that there will always be a majority of people who find themselves attracted to the opposite sex and a smaller fraction of people who find themselves attracted to the same sex. I don’t know off hand if even a smaller or perhaps even larger fraction of people will find themselves attracted to both sexes. Any of the above mentioned variations are irreveleant if we continue to assume opposite sex attraction remains the norm.

I disagree with anyone who says that gays are trying to suggest that heterosexual attraction isn't the norm, when we’re using the term “norm” to refer, perhaps in error to “common”. Yes, indeed, heterosexual attraction is more common — more common by a long shot!

Here’s the deal. I am a gay man. I am attracted to other men. There are also other men who are attracted to, well, other men. Having said that, is it better that the two shall meet, or is it better that we go off and marry your heterosexual daughters, and have no attraction for them? How happy will your heterosexual daughters be in that case? I can assure you, I will not live up to her expectations. I’ll have no interest in her. who is that fair to?

But let us set ALL of this aside. I — and an increasing many — do not agree with your reasoning, not because you are necessarily wrong, but because of what you’re motivated reasoning is based on. I — and again, an increasing many — do not agree with the “morals” on which you base your conclusions. There are a number of biological theories for homosexuality, though let’s not even bother to mention them… though I think you should look them up. If you believe in the supernatural, do so. But do so as an individual, and do not attempt to push for policy based on the supernatural when so many of us believe in policy based on evidence and fact. The most basic and pure fact is that homosexuals exist. We’re here and I doubt we’re going to go away because, well, we’re not the offspring of other homosexuals — we’re the offspring of heterosexuals, which in itself ought to be yet another attestation to the naturalness of homosexuality in, well, nature. Because, let’s face it, what happens in nature is nothing if not natural. There is nothing synthetic in our world.

Anything you do not see commonly is going to be weird. This is why people in rural communities find a very wide variety of things as weird or taboo. Taboos decrease when you introduce more and more people and more and more diversity. If we were to really compile some of the most reprehensible things that are a product of humans (I almost said humanity, but that might be a mistake because I believe in humanism), then I could show you a host of evils that exceed anything you can imagine.

If and when I go (and I will) have sex with my boyfriend, who will likely become my husband some day, I can guarantee you it is the lesser of a multitude of “evil” issues facing this world. What can be accomplished in a few minutes (single digits sometimes) to an hour, if he or I are lucky, does not in anyway exceed the evil that the broader reaches of your beliefs levy on this world. I can think of no greater evil or threat to all of human kind that those that are written — very poorly, I might add — in the “holy” texts that you and so many subscribe to.

Almost unrelated, but yet not so much, in a way… is the fact that I know many people who subscribe to this special library… I don’t know all the details….. anyway, let me get to the point… Many fans of Stephen King receive a book for some fee every time he publishes a new one. Guess what? Very few of those people who receive those hard covers, which look so nice on a shelf and collecting dust, have ever read them, but they are such die hard fans. I, on the other hand, have read them, and know them for what they are.
