It's as normal for gays as heterosexuality is for straights.

Typical.
Several people have tried to get you to clarify the definition of "normal" for the sake of discussion, something you've so far declined to do. If you can't formulate an intelligible question, don't expect people to take your question seriously. Or to quote Jefferson: "Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them."

Formulate what constitutes "normal" and we may be able to have an adult conversation.

Agreed. I could really care less if you're into the same sex. Personally is what matters to me the most.

Luckygem is a hateful tool who will have one of her children or grandchildren be super fruity in the booty. Hear that luckygem, God is going to punish you for your hate.

You can sugar coat the urge to have sex with a person of your own gender all you want to, but it still wouldn't be judged as anything approaching normality. Society as a whole defines normality, not a group of people that total less than 10% of the population.

Thank you, but I was not addressing that question to you.
I am more interested in hearing from the poster I addressed my question to.

I agree, left handed and ambidextrous people are not normal at all. They should all be taken out and flogged until they're normal.

The problem with homosexuality being universally accepted is the fact millions of Americans still hold religious beliefs that prohibit it. There is no compromise because for these people to say homosexuality is not a sin would be denying the authority of their scriptures. Its for this reason, homophobia will not be stamped out completely in the near future as long as religion is legal. Even if/when gay marriage is fully legal, there will still be people that believe its sin and there isn't anything that can be done to change that.
