Why would you expect anyone of any political philosophy to admit something that is factually untrue? And what difference could such an admission make, considering that it is completely IRRELEVANT to marriage?

So why do liberals throw fits when people describe homosexuality as deviant? It deviates from normal behavior, which is heterosexuality.

Even liberals throw fits if you say homosexuality is abnormal. Heterosexuality is normal, as the vast majority of people are heterosexual. Homosexuals are abnormal because most people are heterosexual. Kind of like how albinos are abnormal because most people have pigmentation. But liberals throw fits when you use specific, and accurate terminology.

I just did... As well as a lot of other people - kids don't = marriage or vice versa. Your comment has nothing to do with the topic at hand, just a snide remark that got debunked.

So you're trying to claim that two people of the same sex can produce offspring?

Because people mostly use the word "abnormal" to try to justify discriminating against homosexuals.

I'm not saying that you are, and I will say that you are correct in the tense that you are using the word "abnormal".

However, the connotation of the word being negative is because so many have tried to use that word as justification for being bigoted towards homosexuality. As Renault proves.

There are women that cannot give birth.
There are married couples that don't want kids.
There are gay couples that can adopt.

Do us all a favor and reread the part I've highlighted in blue. Then explain how you see anyone wanting that potion enforced as wanting 'special privileges'. And how it would be based on 'behaviors' whether 'normal' or 'abnormal'.
