There is no rational basis to see homosexuality as normal, it is deviant sexual behavior and a trajedy for every individual and family thus afflicted.
The corruption of deviant liberal propagandists is there in your own words, "a normal deviation from the norm" is a contradiction in terms, you have defined the term "deviancy" not "normalcy" and putting the words side by side changes their meaning not one whit.
Now I agree that homosexuals have enough problems without getting dumped on, and among my friends are homosexual people, none of whom have reason to complain that I am intolerant.
I don't think that aids is divine retribution for homosexuality, and I do not believe that homosexuals should be persecuted.
I do believe that you will not get aids if you know which position to keep your zipper in, I am persuaded that anal intercourse is the main source of the spread of aids, and I do think that homosexuals would get a lot more tolerance from society if they were themselves more tolerant of the definition of normalcy.
It is so tiresome, this modern notion that people are mere flotsam, powerless to do anything more than drift about on a sea of preordained currents.
It is not a rational belief system, dare I label it the "religion of futility"?
I think you're right, MoscowMike. Don't tell everyone and everyone's children that homosexuality is 'normal' (It isn't.) or that it's 'healthy' (It isn't.). Don't try to get near people's children and influence them in ways parents don't want you to. Don't try to get access in close quarters to people's children (as in the Catholic Church, and as they try to do in Boy Scouts). Don't try to teach gay ideology to parents' kids in school. If all that happened (It won't.), most people would be fine with live-and-let-live.
