You're right, but I think it's better for people to vote what's normal for them. If we vote by "normal activity = done by the majority" then in the above example being gay should get a 0% normal, as most would say that the majority or people in the world are not gay.
But if straight people vote "not normal" and gay people vote "normal", then the percentage of votes gives a better indication of how common or normal it is.
I think depending on the question, people switch between voting their personal norm or voting what they believe to be normal for most people.
Have you ever seen an IIN post voted not normal but in a good way?
