((Very interesting discussion. I agree with what you have to say too. It’s pretty obvious that group is just a bunch of bigots and trying to find a shield to hide behind. Of course this coming from the person who is using an icon of Celestia and Luna making out ^_^;

One thing that always struck me though is when people call homosexuality a “deviation”. I’d love to sit down and discuss that with someone who uses that terminology. I enjoy words and I believe in the fair use of proper definitions. To call something a deviation is simply to say it’s not normal. But, how are they defining “not normal”? If they define “normal” sex as sex that can result in procreation, then homosexual sex is indeed not normal. It can’t result in passing on genetics or propagating the species. And, well, so what? It can’t. Big deal.

I think the problem arises when people jump from “this isn’t the usual thing” to “and therefore it is evil and bad”. Calling something unusual or strange or abnormal these days has become synonymous with calling it evil or wrong. That’s a shame, because that isn’t what those words mean.

I am very tall for my gender (which I keep guarded online). I am abnormal. I am a genetic aberration. I am different from most people of my gender. …so? 

Rather than looking to remove all concept of rarity or abnormality, we should be embracing what makes us different and celebrating that we are less common than normal. Yeah, if you do something most people don’t do then you are engaging in an activity that deviates from the norm. And so what? The very act of liking FIM as an adult is a deviation from most adults. The act of liking clop is a deviation from most of the sub-group of adults who are FIM fans. …and again I ask society and those who would use “deviant” or “abnormal” as derogatory terms… so what?

Embrace being abnormal. There’s nothing wrong with it. Unless someone’s abnormal because they’re a serial rapist or something. Then yeah fuck that guy. xD ))
