The "medical community" has voted homosexuality "normal". A behavior issue such as homosexuality wouldn't be listed as a birth defect since it's not diagnosable at birth. But if a person is born homosexual, and many people say they are, it is a defect at birth and therefore a birth defect.

That's my liberal use of a term. Which it turns out ain't that liberal.

Birth defect definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms easily defined on MedTerms
Birth defect: Any defect present in a baby at birth, irrespective of whether the defect is caused by a genetic factor or by prenatal events that are not genetic.
This is my new signature.
