It seems like this thread is just so ETB can weigh the pros and cons of outting himself to his wife.

Apparently anybody different than ETB isnt normal. Everybody should live like him and be a school teacher.

If you dont choose to be gay, and are born that way, then yes, its normal.

Why would it not be normal if the opposite were true and it was 100% choice?

LOL, OK? I don't think that being gay (gay sexual attraction and sex) is normal in the sexual realm. That's just like, my opinion, man. I'm not forcing my opinion on anyone else, or saying anyone else is wrong. I'm just merely sharing it... dude.

I guess what I am getting from the topic is that most people are meaning normal as in you dont control it, not as what is most common.

Who two individuals choose to have sex with is normal and acceptable behavior. The key word here is chooses - pedophilia is coerced and manipulated by only one person in the process. Rape is violent forceable sex by one person against another. Join the 21st Century people...gays exist and they are the same % of good folks and assholes as the rest of us.

You have to define all of the variables:

what is "normal"?

If "normal" is what everyone else tends to do, then no, being gay is not normal.

If normal is the tendency to have the same traits as others in their peer groups, then yes, being gay is normal.

Personally, I don't care if one has sexual feelings towards another person of the same sex...mainly because my life doesn't change either way.

I really don't understand why people have such a problem with gay marriage. Your life isn't impacted by it at all, so shut the fuck up.

I believe you are born gay, so yes, being gay is normal to someone who is born homosexual.

I voted acceptable and normal.

I'd be curious what those who voted "unacceptable" have in mind.

there is no game, you are just unwilling to accept the obvious ramifications of your expressed opinion.

What I think is normal in my life may be abnormal in anothers life. I no way do I approve homosexuality as being a normal way of life but I do accept it as another person or groups choice of their norm, just as I have my own choice to live the way I want to. I have learned through my years that it is much more rewarding to live for what I believe and accept others for what they believe.

No need to beat a dead horse, each to his own.

why thank you, more terms that Mr. Bass and others can use to condemn the actions of gay folks. Not that little euphemism.
