Memnon said:Yes, homosexuality is abnormal because most people are not homosexual. Therefore, it is not the norm(al).
However, people with curly blonde hair are also not the norm, so they too are abnormal.
And so on and so forth! So, it doesn't really make a difference whether or not it's "abnormal", there are plenty of things that are "abnormal". What it is not is inferior, lesser, whatever.
Also, someone wrote that humans were a heterosexual race?
Wrong.
Homosexuality has always been around, even in ancient times.
You can dress it up however you want, but ultimately, when something has existed for so long, I'd say it becomes a part of the race too. So let's settle in between and call it a bisexual race.

Yes it was. This person who I knew personally is someone who cannot stand homosexuals. And yet it was okay for him to use the person for his own sexual gratification. He'd been in basic training in the Army and had not been able to have sex for months. So the first person who approached him was a gay man in a bar in Amsterdam. I guess you could say he was a "bisexual" while in the service, as he also had sex with women.:doh :shock:Navy Pride said:And its just as abnormal for them...........
Stinger said:It's not just a simply matter of "the majority" it's also biologically abnormal.
M14 Shooter said:Yeah, thats what I thought. No balls.
GarzaUK said:So are albino men and women but they are allowed to marry.
In fact Albino are rarer than homsexuals. A myphrodite (a person with male and female genitals) can allow to marry, but that also is a biological anomoly. I fail to see your point.

Stinger said:Proof of a genetic cause, that there is a physicality to homosexual behavior, no there is no proof of that. There are lots of theories about environmental causes whcih probably hold true. But that still gets to the choice of behavior. Homosexuality is not akin to race, or hair color, or even gender. Yes how long did people believe the abnormal was normal with regard to the earth, as we found out nature dictated the earth be round and homo sapiens be heterosexual beings. Can they engage in abnormal behaviors such as homosexuality? Of course.
Homosexuals and those who believe homosexuality is a normal behavior seem to get upset because the word abnormal is applied to the behavior and it is taken personally. Homosexuals for the most part are perfectly normal homo sapiens physically and mentally (although there is evidence people who engage in homosexuality suffer more mental health problems than those who do not but then did the behavior cause the mental health problems or vice versa). It's the behavior that is not normal, but abnormal.
No, they are not designed at all, your babbling, bigoted nonsense none withstanding.M14 Shooter said:It is?
Are men and women not designed to "interface" in a certain way?
This is a yes/no question.
Stinger said:Nope that is genetic. Blond is a perfectly normal hair color. No proof that homosexuallity is genetic or a trait.
Kirk KM. Bailey JM. Dunne MP. Martin NG. Measurement models for sexual orientation in a community twin sample. Behavior Genetics. 30(4):345-56, 2000 Jul.
Estimates of the heritability of homosexuality in this sample ranged between 50 and 60% in females but were significantly lower (heritability of approximately 30%) in males
Pillard RC. Bailey JM. Human sexual orientation has a heritable component. Human Biology. 70(2):347-65, 1998 Apr.
We present an overview of behavioral genetics research on homosexual and heterosexual orientation. Family, twin, and adoptee studies indicate that homosexuality and thus heterosexuality run in families. Sibling, twin, and adoptee concordance rates are compatible with the hypothesis that genes account for at least half of the variance in sexual orientation. We note observations of homosexual behavior in animal species, but the analogy to human sexual orientation is unclear.
Gasztonyi Z. Genetic evaluation of male homosexuality. Orvosi Hetilap. 139(5):247-9, 1998 Feb 1.
The family trees of 16 homosexual males are evaluated in the material of their Genetic Counselling Clinic. The familial cluster of three cases corresponded to the X-linked recessive inheritance. The results of family, twin and adoption studies are reviewed and the recent findings of molecular genetic and brain researches are summarised. Male homosexuality comprises of different subgroups, but one major entity is caused by X-linked recessive gene(s). This genetic background represent a predisposition which is triggered or suppressed by external factors.
And you Chose to be heterosexual, right?Me and it was that we are a heterosexual species, which we are.
However, it doesn't automatically make it "abnormal" other than in strictly statistical sense.Nope, and YOU are the one trying to dress things up not me. Lots of things have been around for a long time, that doesn't make them normal for the species.
Others' hate mongering bigotry doesn't have any bearing on this discussion, does it now.Navy Pride said:The problem with your scenario people don't consider anyone with blonded hair immoral.......That is not the case with gays by the majority of Americans.......
that is the worst kind of sophist, bigoted claptrap I have heard in a long time. Yes, when Louis XIV prohibited begging, he was "fair" in that both rich and poor were equally prohibited from begging under the law.Stinger said:And people who engage in homosexuality are allowed to marry, they can go to many churches and be married if what that is what they want even to someone of the opposite. Or they can excerise the same right everyone else has, to marry someone of the opposite sex in a legally sanctioned marriage.

ptsdkid said:In order for me to answer the question whether certain people were born gay, I had to ask the question is being gay an abnormal function of our society. It certainly is according to God, and to me as well. It is my belief that people become gay by their exposure to certain abnormal environmental conditions.
