I changed my mind about going to sleep now.

I do not know if homosexuality is "normal". I don't know of a genetic link that says that people are born this way. Your challenge is irrelevant to the issue. I have already explained the fallacy of "natural law". Read my message titled "Gay Marriage". Many behaviors by many people may not be considered "normal". Yet, it does not follow that such behavior should be outlawed or that people who engage in such behavior should not be allowed to marry. Is it "normal" to dye your hair? Is it "normal" to use the bridge of your nose as a place to rest reading glasses? Is it "normal" to pierce your navel?
You are again making assumptions about me. I am a moderate Libertarian. I support the "Conservative" position on various issues (particularly issues that support individual freedom). I also support "Liberal" positions on issues that support individual freedom.

Please correct me if I am wrong but I do not think that the survivor of a homosexual union has Social Security benefits as a surviving partner. A homosexual often does not have the right to visit their partner in the public hospital (as a family member) or the right of custody of the deceased partner's children (even when the deceased had stated that he wishes, in the event of his death, that his partner receive custody of the children). Homosexuals also don't have the right to designate that their partners be heirs to their estates.
