If you believe in creation they you believe men and women were formed to serve two distinct sexual purposes. If you believe in evolution then the millions of years of evolution produced two separate sexual beings. Therefore, in either case, to say homosexuality is “normal” is wrongheaded.
It may yet be proven it is “natural” (being born homosexual), and if that is the case, that means homosexuality is like being born with a heart defect: naturally occurring but hardly normal.
Just as some people are born predisposed to molest children. It may be "natural" per se, but it sure isn't normal, nor good for society.

Look, I am not arguing for the rightness or wrongness of homosexuality. I am not arguing that the situation of homosexuals is the same as racial minorities or women.
But what I am saying is that homosexuals have the same right as anyone else to gather peacefully and lawfully advocate changes to the law or to society. This isn't a special right, it's a basic right of every human being.
Do we, as FReepers, really like the idea of government that shuts down speech because it is unpopular and controversial? It's not the worst abuse of government power ever but it's not something we should admire.
