You do not perceive homosexuality as 'normal'. Many others do.

Once again I emphasize the word SUBJECTIVE in reference to the word NORMAL, not just in regards to homosexuality but in regards to anything.
You do not perceive homosexuality as 'normal'. Many others do. Many other cultures and also other animal species. But please don't take my word for it. I encourage you to do your own research on the subject, as you show interest in it. I was able to find that a certain percentage of rams(can't remember exact #, about 10 to 16%)will not mate with females at all, yet will engage sexually with males. I have read much on apes and discovered it is very common for them to engage in homosexual behavior and I have personally observed this on several occasions at the zoo. I have also observed this in cows, dogs and my cats as well. And as it is not always as easy to distinguish male from female at a glance in many animal species, many other similar acts may have gone un-noticed by me.Your perceptions of the 'normal' use of a penis for example are not shared by say the Dani of New Guinea, bonobos of Africa, rams of the rocky's, etc. Same for wire wisk and so on. These are individual perceptions which would likely be refuted with equal passion by other cultures and individuals. It has nothing to do with 'sympathy for gays' Terming homosexuality as an abnormal perversion is 'normal' to you. Headhunting and cannibalism is 'normal' to tribes in Borneo and New Guinea, worshipping cats as gods was 'normal' to ancient egyptians. One mans stir stick is another mans reproductive organ, etc. Meaning others deem practices that you consider 'normal' as equally perverse and abnormal as you deem homosexuality.
