Who said Homosexuality is Normal?
While I don’t mind what people do with their lives and in their homes — people have the right to do what they want. When did homosexuality ever become “normal”?
Acceptability vs Normality
Acceptability is different from normality. Even if it is acceptable, it’s still not normal. Whether it’s a genetic defect, psychological imperfection, a fetish, or whatever has caused a person to be attracted to another of the same sex; it’s still not normal.
Statistically Abnormal
I don’t want to liken homosexuality to diseases, but in the case of normality where someone is not acting in accordance with the standard distribution curve, it’s appropriate. There are about 4% of homosexuals in the United States, or 13M people. There are 8.5% (of adults) that are diagnosed with cancer, or 20M people. It’s not normal for either to occur. We accept it, but it is still outside the realm of common frequency.
Naturally Abnormal
Homosexuality does not propel the species any further — it’s a natural anomaly. The human race propagates by sperm entering an egg. We’ve approached the point in modern science that this can happen scientifically, forced without natural means.
Perhaps society is beyond nature, but when that happens, the natural order becomes unbalanced. The traditional sense of the nuclear family becomes disrupted. The natural benefits to having a male and female role model and thinker in the family becomes lost.
Impact Uncertainty
It’s shown that people can develop healthy and fine without thinking that a traditional family is required. That said, there is no popular study that evaluates the longterm affect of not having a grandfather/grandmother.
We are raised by family and community; there’s nothing that evaluates gay communities and how it may affect larger societal decisions in general. Products of gay families still have the surrounding communities to serve a role. The communities don’t always serve a positive role, but they do influence the individual. Who know’s what could happen if today’s community changed?
Anyhow, I’ve been for gay rights and individual rights for a long time, but in present day, I would still not recognize it as normal. This is despite the prevalence in history and no matter how much I like my gay friends. Taking issue with something and something being common are not mutually exclusive variables.
