What is "Normal"


I read a quote in a story today about California passing a Gay Marriage Law. The question of what Arnold will do is for another day, even though if what he says about not being beholden to special interests is true he will sign it, while I was reading the article I can across a quote by someone opposed to the bill. It said

"Marriage should be between a man and a woman, end of story. Next issue," insisted Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy (R-Monrovia). "It's not about civil rights or personal rights, it's about acceptance. They want to be accepted as normal. They are not normal."

Now I've heard this normal argument before but my answer to these people has been that if you look to any distant land or foriegn culture across this vast planet or to anytime in the long history of Man. There have always Gay People. To have a society without Gay People would be Abnormal.
