people identifying as homosexuals is normal. and science doesn't discount that. look it up.
Ah, "science". You want science? I'll give you your science.
I'm sure you're already aware of how the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality as a mental disorder from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders (DSM-II). Not entirely true. They added a category called "Sexual Orientation Disturbance" which distinguishes it from homosexuality as they reclassified the latter as just a sexual behavior. Nakakatawa kasi ayon sa APA kung alcoholic ka, may sayad ka sa ulo, pero kung lalaki ka at gusto mo makipagbuttsex sa kapwa mo lalaki, wala kang diperensya. This was done after constant pressure, intimidation & harassment by gay & lesbian groups, but we'll get to that later.
Here's the zinger: Even though the APA removed homosexuality from their list of mental disorders, here's what they emphasized:
Similarly, by no longer listing it (homosexuality) as a psychiatric disorder we are not saying that it is "normal" or as valuable as heterosexuality.
Oops! There goes your "gays are normal" assertion right out the window, and that's coming from the psychiatrists themselves.

http://www.torahdec.org/Downloads/DSM-II_Homosexuality_Revision.pdf Ok, balik tayo doon sa panghaharass ng mga gays sa APA kaya nila dineclassify ang homosexuality bilang sira sa utak. From Chapter 7 of the book "The Born Gay Hoax":
Over the past two years, gay‐lib organizations have repeatedly disrupted medical meetings, and three months ago—in the movements most aggressive demonstration so far—a group of 30 militants broke into a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Washington, where they turned the staid proceedings into near chaos for twenty minutes. ‘We are here to denounce your authority to call us sick or mentally disordered,’ shouted the group’s leader, Dr. Franklin Kameny, while the 2,000 shocked psychiatrists looked on in disbelief. ‘For us, as homosexuals, your profession is the enemy incarnate.We demand that psychiatrists treat us as human beings, not as patients to be cured!’”
This is the same Dr. Frank Kameny that wanted to decriminalize sodomy:

It’s important to stress what I didn’t find. I did not prove that homosexuality is genetic, or find a genetic cause for being gay. I didn’t show that gay men are born that way, the most common mistake people make in interpreting my work. Nor did I locate a gay center in the brain

Although male and female homosexuality appear to be at least somewhat heritable, environment must also be of considerable importance in their origins.

...environmental factors play a role. There is not a single master gene that makes people gay…I don’t think we will ever be able to predict who will be gay

N. Mitchell, “Genetics, sexuality linked, study says,” Standard Examiner, April 30, 1995Had enough science? Nope, I'm not yet done with the science. I'm bringing the hammer of science down, biatch.
From Ivanka Savic, the lead researcher from Sweden for a 2005 pheromone study which gay activists claimed were more evidence of a biological basis to homosexuality. She says her study "had nothing to do with proving homosexuality to be biological"

Alright so we've established a couple of things:
1. Homosexuality is still not considered "normal".
2. There is no such thing as being born gay.
I must admit, this debate [gooey brown stuff] is fun!
