Of course homosexuality isn't "normal". If you charted a bell curve of sexuality most people would fall in the center as heterosexual. However, you could do the same thing with left handedness, it doesn't really mean anything. And of course homosexuality is "natural", as it is genetically influenced and occurs in nature. So I don't think these are really the right questions on the subject.

I think most people are actually somewhere in between, with the majority being probably about 90%-95% heterosexual.
I agree that it isn't "normal" per se, but I think that the words "not normal" have a negative connotation and imply that it's unnatural. It shouldn't necessarily, but we like to twist definitions in our society to suit our own personal agendas.

As I type these words, the poll is split roughly 50/50. I wish we could know the average age of the two groups, my prediction is that the nays are noticeably older. Homophobia exists yet in our society, but slowly it's dying out. 30 years from now, society will look back on this controversy with a sense of shame and wonderment that we could have ever been so blinded by hate.

So, no, I don't think age is much of an issue.
I think it is. Acceptance of homosexuality is greater in every younger generation. Senior citizens overwhelmingly do not accept it, while young adults overwhelmingly do.
OP and I are close in age and I think he is a minority in our age group.
It's not wrong to me because I want it to be wrong! It's wrong to me because there are two sexes in the human race...male and female. And there's no disputing that.
Nothing is "wrong" that does not infringe upon the rights or freedoms of anything or anyone else.

Try to force people to believe otherwise what? That homosexuals should be treated and respected like everyone else?
Get over it. Straight people are not better than gay people.
Straight people are not engaging in some mystical spiritual completion of nature's great design when they make love. They're having sex. Most likely for pleasure only, 99% of the time.
Gay people have always existed in humanity. To teach otherwise is not only dishonest, it betrays ulterior motives to reduce personal prejudice to academia.
I guess the small minority of homosexuals will always be trying to get the remainder of society to accept their aberration, this indoctrination "to teach" homosexuality is just another attempt at it..

You are free to home school.
The more "traditionalist social conservative behavioral conformists" out there that homeschool their broods, the less competition for everyone else's kids out there for the good jobs and colleges.
Homo-sex is abnormal, and should not be taught as such.
Natural things are not controversial, they just are.
So again Homo-sex is unnatural and frankly gross.
