I said HAVE a mom and dad, not LIVE WITH a mom and dad. Those aren't quite the same thing.
If you don't think being gay is abnormal, than where we really disagree on is what normal means. To me, a state of being that characterises less than 5 percent of the population, cannot be consider normal. What does normal mean to you?
Well some kids have a dead parent or parents, some kids have a step dad or a step mom or both, some kids have a foster mom and/or dad...and some kids have adoptive parents and birth parents. Children being raised by a gay couple are still going to have a birth mom and a birth dad just like everybody else, they’re just also going to have two adoptive parents that are the same gender. Again, that’s only weird if parents wrongly teach their children to falsely believe that it’s weird or not normal. If parents do what they’re supposed to do and teach children to be kind and respectful and accepting of those who are different, instead of teaching them to fear those people, then they’re not going to bat an eye at it.
We may well have very different definitions of normal. I think you’re describing the words common and uncommon, not normal and abnormal. To me, something has to be bad or wrong in some way for it to be abnormal. Obviously there’s nothing bad or wrong about being gay whatsoever, so I don’t see how it can be considered abnormal.
Gay but against gay marriage? Iin?
