The NEW Gay is a fad. The " I kissed a girl and i like it" crowd has come and gone.
The choice to have homo-sex is on the chooser, not the parent. Although many gays were raped as young children, and have a screwed up sense of what love and normal sexual relations should be, i blame those gays on their perps..
This must be the way the opposition talked about interracial marriage in the 60s.
Elementary and middle school kids are already experimenting with sex. I was taught sex ed when I was 11, in 6th grade. You overestimate the innocence of children.
Then we will cut off the thumb to spite the hand... Throw them all in a blender and teach them how to have anal sex.. genius
Now you certainly didn't learn that sexuality is a CHOICE from your (clearly inadequate) study of the APA!
From the APA:
What causes a person to have a particular sexual orientation? There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation.
And you certainly didn't learn that homosexuality is something that people are born with, did you? As your above quote clearly states that there is NO scientific evidence to claim that. Nice try.

Read slower.
Where did I state it was something people are "born with"? It is "not a choice." If "not a choice," and "normal," what's the problem?
But that's OK. Perhaps if you take more time to read and comprehend in the future, you won't make glaringly obvious mistakes and assertions like: "THE APA REFUSES TO SAY THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS NORMAL."
When it does so multiple times, over and over and over, in its easy to read primer on human sexuality.
Thus, to assert that homosexuality is not "normal" goes against the prevailing scientific and psychological research and opinion on that matter. Sometimes, that's a good thing... like when you're arguing the world is round when everyone else says it is flat. But typically, those taking the progressive and most recent version of scientific thought on any subject (rather than those wishing to hold on to a PREVIOUS theory, which is what City-Data social conservatives do, time and again) tend to be right.
It's apparent you're OK being on the wrong side of science.

From the APA:
"...by no longer listing it as a psychiatric disorder we are not saying that it is 'normal' or as valuable as heterosexuality."

There is actually quite a bit of scientific evidence to support the idea that sexuality is genetic, or at least heavily influenced by genetics. From familial studies right down to brain structure. Like most things, it isn't completely controlled by genetics, but at the very least it creates a predisposition.
It is a spirit of lust and it is unnatural. Anyone who thinks it is normal will in time accept men with boys as natural if it is promoted as homosexuality is today.
The bible speaks of Sodom and Gomorrah as an evil city because of homosexuality and it is an obamanation. It is also told that in the last days these things will be accepted as it was in the days of Lot.
Once again, you prove you know nothing about the Bible. Sodom was not destroyed for homosexuality. Even the Bible itself tells you what Sodom was destroyed for. You know doubt just assume because Sodomy was taken from the Latin variant of Sodom that they are somehow related. Well, Sodom, comes from the Hebrew Cedom meaning "to scorch" because the city was burned by fire.
Stop speaking on matters you know nothing about. You are making all real Christians look bad.
"...by no longer listing it as a psychiatric disorder we are not saying that it is 'normal' or as valuable as heterosexuality."
You appear to quote language lifted from the DSM II.... released in 1968, and revised in 1974.
As you (are probably not) aware, we are now on the DSM IV... with the DSM V now under works.
The most recent opinion would be exactly what I pulled from the APA's current website.
Care to try again, and this time pull a quote from a version of the DSM published... oh... a little more recent than 40 years ago?

It is not normal or natural.
