Groups of people (gays) being dehumanized just because they don't agree or choose to act in the same way that other people with different views choose to act is intolerable, and deserves response.

Normal human behaviour is anything that people choose to do that other people do not censor them about. What's been normal in the historical past, and now that I think about it, what some people think is normal today? Persecuting and creating an attitude of hatred around sexual preferences leading to the murder of people eg. Mathew Sheperd.

Some posters here think "normal" is continuing to discuss gay people as if they weren't full human beings deserving of equal respect - referring to them as unworthy of having marriages or sex or whatever... with another consenting adult.

It's just lucky that there are also a lot of people who think "normal" is protecting the rights of all people and enshrining full human rights in law. All I can say is the world is a better place because of the second group's perception of normal - because if it wasn't for them all of us would be in fear of having our rights taken away because we weren't the "right kind of normal".

I won't be posting on this topic again - and I hope those "special - just us are normal" people continue to decline into the minority.
