If you are gay is that normal or is it mentally sick?

• Being gay is perfectly normal. Some people think gay people are sick, but they're not -- they just have a different perspective of looking at some things. For example: I love Pizza, you might hate it; we're both normal, aren't we?

• Up to 1973 the Diagnostics and Statistical Manual, the handbook of mental health professionals, listed homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was replaced by a different definition when the DSM-iii came into use, and then dropped altogether in 1987. So, to answer if it is "mentally sick," the answer, according to the American Psychological Association, is "no."

  To answer if it is normal, of course, begs the question of "what is normal." According to Kinsey's studies, 10% of the subjects in his studies were more or less completely homosexual from their teens. One out of 10 certainly sounds "normal."

To be fair... "10% of the people in his study" is slightly deceiving since 100% of the people in the study WERE GAY. It is generally accepted about 1% of the population in the U.S. is gay. 1 out of 100, not 1 out of 10.

The Kinsey study of the sexual habits of the American male was done in the 1940's and involved interviews with several thousand men who were willing to talk to the interviewer. Kinsey reported that roughly 30% of the respondents had experienced homosexual intercourse to orgasm at least once in their lives. Current research suggests that somewhere between 2 and 4 per cent of males are primarily homosexual, and perhaps 10 per cent have had significant homosexual experience.

It is normal to be Gay, Hetero or Bi, anything else would be abnormal !

Due to something that's happened in their lives, people have homosexual attractions and that's not sick. If acted on or embraced, it's like any addiction. You should believe this if you're a Christian.

Technically being gay is unnatural due to mammals (and other animals) need a male and female to reproduce. Think about it is everyone was gay we would all die within a generation because no children would be produced. Being gay is also in your genetics one of the things about being gay is maybe the point is so that you don't reproduce but one of the only ways to do that would be that you are attracted to someone whom you cant reproduce with. So technically speaking being gay is wrong and unnatural, but some people don't think so. But just because being gay is wrong it doesn't mean that you should be discriminatory towards them. Closing comments, if mammals birds and fish, reptiles (well maybe some fish and reptiles do) could reproduce asexually being gay would be fine.
