I understand the concepts of probabilities and statistics, but you misappy them.

We do not have a gaussian distribution of sexual orientation with everyone distributed between greater degrees of heterosexuality and greater degrees of homosexuality.

If this were the case your position might have some merit, if this were the case everyone with 51% of their sexual liasons occurring with members of the opposite sex and 49% of their sexual activity occurring with members of the same sex, or were sexual preferences differentiated in this fashion, then the liberal attitude on homosexuality would be representative of the human condition.

But that is wrong, there is not a continuum of sexual preference, or to be scientifically accurate, no evidence exists to substantiate your theoretical construct.

There are people who are not defective in their sexual orientation, and there are people who are defective in their sexuality.

There are people who are normal, and those who are deviant.

I am not missapplying.

You are plotting a point for each sexual encounter, I am not, I am plot one for each distinct sexual attraction. Sexual attraction is a specturm involving almost as many variations are there are human beings. That's why I always found the classifying of people as heterosexuals and homosexuals as over generalizing.

There are men who are attracted to fat women, thin women, some have breast fetish, others have a foot fetish, some like to tie women up, some like to be tied up by women, some like tall women, some like petite women, some like women who are butch,etc, etc, etc. No one can adequately explain why we like what we like. Some of these attractions are found in the majority of men (big breasts, etc), some are found in a much smaller numbers. But they all exist. Men attracted to other men is just a subgroup of all these various attractions.

Having sexual attractions that doesn't exist in the majority of one's peers is a deviation. But a deviation that is to be expected. Life would be so boring if we all had the exact same taste.
