And that's why it is still a deviance, a biological, evolutionary, not to say moral and ethical, deviance. No matter what you call it, homosexuality is not something you want to encourage, promote, boost. It IS a deviance. It can be tolerated - decriminalising it did just that - but you do not want to treat is as normal because if it were normal we would die out.
Interesting thinking there, Soren. So, if we treated homosexuality as normal, everybody would become homosexual?
Is that your clearest thinking, Brain?
Homosexuality is an aberration. You can have a functioning society with 100 % heterosexual but it is impossible to have a functioning society with 100% homosexuals.
Marriage is about the relationship between men and women. They make up the species and society, their relationship is crucial to every society. This is why marriage is present in some way in every society - as a social function.
Managing the sexual relationship of homosexuals is not a matter for either the species or any society - it is a fringe aberration. Homosexuals have no valid claim, therefore, on one of the crucial institution in society because homosexuality by its very definition is completely irrelevant to social relationship between men and women, for which marriage is the central institution.
This is not difficult, it's not homophobic - it just recognises marriage for what it is and why it is not for gays.
