It's not terribly abnormal. It's certainly considered less abnormal than other sexual behaviors, such as S&M. It might not be what the majority of people like to do, but that's just a question of preference. As for it being destructive, any sex act among consenting adults is not destructive, in of itself. How would you describe destructive?
Lesbianism may be less destructive individually (compared to MSM) but it's certainly destructive at the societal level especially in the cases of persons who actively promote the behavior.
How does a lesbian sex act harm the rest of society?
Families aren't a societal luxury, they are the bedrock of humanity.
Homosexuals make about 3% of the population. How does the existence of such a small % of people practicing a certain type of sexual behavior harm families?
" It's not terribly abnormal."
Oh come on... human beings are a sexually reproducing species that produces offspring with the longest period of immaturity in nature. Humans don't have alternate reproductive strategies. The human society that disregards the fundamental truths of our species will be the next Darwin award winner and western societies with their emphasis on separating sexuality from reproduction are stepping up to that plate.
Right now the family is under duress in Western civilization. There are a number of destructive behaviors that can put us in the dust bin of history. Homosexuality with it's emphasis of being an alternate kind of family would redefine the family out of existence.
There's another thread about a new strain of "super" HIV that has been traced to a man in NYC who says he has had anonymous sex with 100s of men in a two week period. He's hardly alone in such promiscuity. Its an essential feature of the gay lifestyle.
Liberals would call that abnormal, compulsive behavior if it were any behavior other than homosexual behavior. The would likely call it abnormal if it were heterosexuals engaging in it anonymously and with that frequency.
Individual homosexual behavior is no threat to me, personally. I couldn't care less who engages in it (unless it were my child). However, acceptance of it at the societal level is a threat, to society and to me and my family by extension.
It is a threat because it sends and reinforces the deadly message that sexual behavior exists primarily if not solely for its entertainment value, not for replacing an aging population with a young and healthy new generation.
I have a vested interest in society's maintaining and encouraging healthy traditional families, for those families are the indispensable crucibles in which children are born, nurtured, and reared to adulthood, tomorrow's citizens who will keep this nation great and free.
Before you leap to proclaim your disagreement, tell me which nation, if any, that has legalized gay marriage has a birth rate sufficient to replace its dying population. Don't waste too much time looking. There isn't one.
The mindset that tolerates and encourages homosexual behavior is inherently anti-family and anti-child. It is the same mindset that preaches abortion without restrictions. And just about everybody knows where Alan Keyes stands on that point.
Which is a big reason he is hated so much.
