Saying it's not NORMAL is perfectly fine, as NORMAL is defined as conforming to the standard or common type. So being homosexual is abnormal in much the same way that being left handed is abnormal. The post you are defending, however, goes beyond that, claiming that homosexuality is LEARNED. There's absolutely no reliable evidence or research I know of that substantiates such a statement.

Since a comparatively small percentage of gays and lesbians are raising children, where are all these gays and lesbians coming from?
I used to think "who would ever want to be gay?", but now it's fashionable, they feel "special". This will all wear off, especially when they have to be held responsible for the ex and the kids, just like everybody else. It will lose it's sparkle. We have a legal term for these kind of things, "attractive nuisance", things that draw children, that adults should protect them from. If a youngster feels he is truly gay, that's the way it is, and he/she should be supported for whatever choices they make. All I'm saying is that this choice should not be encouraged as a model for society. It's just one more nail in the coffin of the tradtitional family - which is the foundation of our decaying society.

Yep, I had a Hemmingway cat. They are actually quite easy to find. I also had a Minx that had 6 toes.

We have two Hemmingway cats. Much more prevalent on the East Coast, and all over the place in Florida (seeing as this is where the Hemmingway House is). They are also nicknamed "conch cats", "boxing cats", "mitten cats", "mitten-foot cats", "snowshoe cats", "thumb cats", "six-fingered cats", and "Cardi-cats". Official name is polydactyl cats. they are so adorable, cause it looks like they have a "real" hand.

I grew up in Florida. They really aren't the rare anomaly that is being portrayed by some.

Of course not. Homosexuality is a gene, just as liberals carry the "smart gene"

It's all hereditary and is corroborated by evidential proof discovered... by the scientists... who... carry... those... smart... genes.......... <sigh>

Maybe homosexuality is the norm, and heterosexuality the deviation.

It's kind of like the old question about a zebra's stripes being black-on-white or vice versa.

Homosexuality might be evolution's way of ensuring that the planet doesn't become overpopulated.

It might be a lot of things, but all of them are normal.

This has got to set a record for one of the most logically ridiculous posts I've ever seen, ever, anywhere.

LTGB (which you got out of order, btw), will not become "more mainstream". A certain subsection of humanity has always, and will always be gay. Virtually all of them are born to heterosexual parents, though occasionally homosexuals (and more commonly, bisexuals) breed.
