I'm disabled, I'm pretty normal. Are you saying I'm not normal? Shame on you and your bigoted opinions!
You can't be "disabled" if you're "abled". There has to be something abnormal.

My example of black people is exactly your example with blind people and homosexuals. Because the majority of people can see, being blind isn't "normal" (to use your words). So, because the majority of people are white, that means not being white isn't normal! It's your logic Alma, it's not my fault it fails so utterly.
You can't be this incredibly dense. You're using a different definition for the same word and are now trying to counter my argument. There's numerous definitions for these words and I've stated 3 times already that I'm not concerned about the words that you use but the definition.
Your analogy is stupid because with the definition that I'm using, I'm using "normal" based on how our bodies operate. I've stated that already. There's no biological evidence to support that our skin tone should be a certain color. Matter of fact, your skin tone interacts with the environment that you're in. On the other hand, there's nothing but biological evidence that supports that the ***** goes in the ******.
Look, it's very simple, no one cares what you do with your organs within reason, but don't come here and pretend that "ear-sex" and "nose-sex" are normal sexual behaviors for humans. Also, just because things become more common in society, doesn't make it "normal" in the context of how our bodies operate. Just because people start doing different stuff with their bodies (i.e. planking), doesn't change any biological evidence of how our bodies operate.

I've already said once in this thread that our sexual organs are first for pleasure, second for reproduction. gbaji tried to counter that with something about menstruation, but as you can see from Nad's post he failed horribly.
Well, you are completely wrong. That's like saying "food is for pleasure first and nutrition second". Just because you enjoy it, doesn't take away from it's primary function. Haven't you noticed the pattern? Eating food is great, it also provides nutrition. Having sex is great, it provides reproduction. Getting injured hurts, but it tells you that something is wrong with you.
That's how you learn not to touch fire, the pain. You don't like it, so you stop. Your hunger and thirst is your body telling you to drink and eat. If you removed the sexual cravings and good feelings of sex, do you think people would actually have sex? If you think about it, the concept of sex is pretty disgusting, especially in a "stay a hands length away from me" society. Our urges push us into those activities and the good feelings keeps us involved.
Your claim that our organs are for pleasure first is beyond silly. We have natural feelings and urges for food, drinks and pain at/before(?) birth. Sexual urges typically don't occur till around puberty, you know when sexual arousals, menstruation, etc. occurs.
If sex were for pleasure first, then it would be part of our other feelings, such as hunger, thirst, pain, etc. at younger ages and senior ages. The simple fact that those feelings don't even occur till a child is of an older age (when you are able to give birth) and die (when you are no longer able to give birth) is pretty evident that our sexual organs are not for pleasure first.

So, because homosexuality isn't "common", it means they don't deserve the same rights as heteros? Awesome.
You fail at life. I used a different word to try to better explain the specific definition from the original word. Instead of grasping on that definition, you use an entirely different definition from that word. I don't know how to better explain it. I didn't want to use "normal" in the definition of "normal", but you're killing me here.
I'm referencing to "biological standards" as "common". Not, "It's common to use an umbrella in the rain", but "it's common for a fertile woman to get pregnant after sex". One is in reference to our biological body operations and another is reference to social practices. Anything and everything can be "common" under social practices, hence why your race example fails.

You do know all the arguments you use against homosexuality were used against desegregation at one time, right?
No, I didn't. Wait, someone brings up race in EVERY single homosexual argument as if sexuality and skin color are the same thing. Besides presenting an argument I wasn't making, the arguments that are similar and apply for apples do not apply for oranges. Ironic how people will constantly bring up racial arguments in the past but swears like it's no tomorrow that any SSM laws are not precedents to any other marriage laws.
