The terms normal, healthy, and natural evolve depending on cultural and scientific ideas. Being gay is natural again, but some don't like the word because they associate it with hate. Normal is a word I associate with hate and exclusivity. I have always been, and always will be, abnormal.

Valid, although I think it's possible to view something as abnormal without hating or excluding it. I was using it in that sense (analytical rather than judgemental), apologies if that implied hate to you.

Ah jeez no I'm sorry, I was being much too severe and I had oversimplified it. Normalcy is great for all kinds of things like roads and statistics. Some of my best friends are normal!

No worries, glad we agree :)
