I don't give a rip what you say, anal penetration (whether it's male/female or male/male, is not "normal"). Being gay is not normal, I'm sorry. Quit crying. You are different, and that's OK. But you are not the "norm."

As far as the need to make more babies, let me remind you that this planet is woefully overpopulated. The planet cannot continue to house this many people forever. The fact that I don't make babies is a good thing.


My stance is, no, it is not normal.

Just because something is either normal/accepted in your mind, does not make something "normal."

FWK, does this mean that what Jerry Sandusky did was normal, amongst his group of pedo friends? If a baby takes poop out of their diaper and smears it everywhere, is this not normal, since it's a "baby thing?" (Perhaps that's a bad analogy) :)

I'm not anti-gay people, but I think it is abnormal, and based on my personal morals, unacceptable. I will not burn teh gays at the cross, nor publicly condemn them. They can do whatever the fuck they want, just leave me out of it.

It is definitely acceptable. I'm not sure if it is normal, or if that even matters.

Are acceptable and tolerable synonymous? Honest question.

According to thesaurus.com, yes. http://thesaurus.com/browse/acceptable

F
WIW I don't see it as "normal" in the sense that it's not a feature held by a majority of people (normal defined in the sense of "conforming to the standard or common type"). But I have no problems with it.

I agree that it's acceptable, but normal is open to interpretation.

Yes. If they don't hurt anyone let them do whatever they want.

As for normal, I would say having blonde hair and blue eyes isn't exactly normal. That doesn't make it wrong.

Normal?

No.

BOrn that way? I kind of think so, for those who are just flat out flamers. I see being gay like those born with some other sort of defect such as being retarded, or with a disease or body deformaty.
Just because someone is born with a birth defect does it mean they are less of a person?

I voted normal and acceptable. I was raised to believe that all gays are going to hell and are terrible people. Luckily that sentiment didn't stick with me.

Listen, we're all animals. Animals in the wild are the biggest homos on earth. They don't care what they're fucking, they just fuck it. THAT is the natural instinct, no necessarily procreating...just getting your rocks off.

So to me, not being sexually attracted to members of both sexes may actually be the oddity.

And just to clear it up before anyone says anything...if that's indeed the case...I am completely odd. I have no sexual attraction to men whatsoever, no matter what I personify at times on here.

Normal and acceptable are completely different. That's why there are different options!

In the wild, would you say there is more male/female sex, or male/male sex?

Some of the best people I know are gay, some of the biggest jerkoffs are as well. Sounds pretty normal to me.

I think you all are missing my intentions in my question. Gay people act just as "normal" as straight folk. But is the gay ACT normal? (Gay sex)

To answer this, I want to start by saying I think that's a retarded question. How the fuck would I know? I'm not an animal sex expert. Geez!
