But being black doesn't automatically mean you have AIDS, commit crime, or are an unwed mother or father. Although being poor, which a LOT of Black people are, does make huge difference. If there were no Black people at all in this country, there would still be a certain percentage of people that will do these things.
But "homosexual" means attraction to the same gender. Which most humans consider to be at least a little amiss if not outright f'd up.

I have little patience for people who use words like "normal" or "deviant" instead of "bad" or "wrong." It's disingenuous rhetoric.
Besides, I just plain ol' don't like him.

hence, the circular argument comments | Your "beginning" as you call it, is the core of the argument to me. Homosexuality, the same sex attraction of any species, is to most humans, dysfunctional, aberrant, wrong, f'd up, icky whatever you wanna call it. The fact that that two people sharing the same anomaly happen to meet one of their own is just coincidental.
Just like the man having sex with the picnic table making a way to sexually gratify himself that way is merely coincidental that the table happened to have such an "orifice".
It's no circle. It's pretty much cut and dry. The circle starts when people start trying to rationalize it as something other than what it is.
