Gays are 2% of society so it qualifies as deviant behavior. It is not the social norm.
Only in a statistical sense.

Dodge ball. The question was and is do you think those fundamentalist Mormons who are now in prison for marrying 12 year old girls should be set free? It is a simple yes or no question you apparently find uncomfortable to answer.
Two percent of America is gay and that meets the definition of deviant behavior
The statement was made that a young boy finding he is attracted to other young boys feels no distress but the suicide rates for this group I linked to prove otherwise. You can argue as to why they feel distress but the point is they do. Your argument that society makes them feel distress falls flat. Imagine being a young boy suddenly finding he is so different from his peers. You think that would not cause you distress all on its own?
Kids like to fit in and the ultimate in not fitting in is to discover you are homosexual. The mental distress these kids must feel when they desperately want to be attracted to the opposite sex but just can't do it has to be a nightmare for them.
So you presume ...
You just proved yourself wrong. It's not homosexuality that is the problem. It's the adolescent need to fit in. This happens to kids who are too short, too fat, or many other things.
Good job. You just pwned yourself.
As with adult rape isn't it more about power than sex? I would imagine that it is far easier to exert power over children than adults and as you say that makes them 'convenient' targets.
It is a mental disorder that becomes a crime if acted upon.http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html?_r=0
I had no idea there was support group for pedophiles who don't act on their urges. This article states that according to some MRI's these men were born this way. A push to call it a disorder rather than a crime.What are your thoughts?
ETA- for the grammar nazis, autocorrect misspelled pedo in my title
Seems like most threads in here eventually get taken over by some desperate house wives drama queen that wants to discuss each other instead of the subject and that is when I move on. I wish there was a different forum in here for people like you to rant and rave so the adults could civilly debate and discuss.
Most threads here get infested by uneducated anti-gay ideologues, but fortunately, once they are shown to be misinformed or completely wrong, they usually scurry off, whining.
Everyone likes a fresh dead horse - the older ones start to stink after awhile.but they tend to scurry out as soon as there is another thread that has anything to do with human sexuality, beating the same dead horse yet again.
