Human sexual behavior is Natural, but some sexual behaviors are not necessarily Normal.
The definition of Natural is:
Being in accordance with or determined by nature. Example: Natural impulses.
Definitions:
Normal is the common pattern of behavior found among the majority.
Abnormal is the common pattern of behavior found among the minority.
The U.S. population is approximately 92.9% heterosexual and 7.1% lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something other than straight or heterosexual, reference below.
Heterosexuality is normal
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something other than straight or heterosexual is abnormal
Before you get your panties in a twist, consider the same sociologically speaking analysis of pet ownership, dogs vs cats.
The U.S. pet ownership is approximately 60% Dogs and 40% Cats
Dog ownership is normal.
Cat ownership is abnormal.
REFERENCE: WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Gallup finds 7.1% of U.S. adults identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something other than straight or heterosexual. The percentage has steadily increased since Gallup first measured LGBT identification in 2012.
NOTE: There are approximately 70M (60%) dog owners and 45M (40%) cat owners in the U.S.
All: I Hope you enjoyed this ad-hoc lesson in Philosophy 101 (Logic) and Sociology 101 (Human Behavior) as much as I did
The only problem here is the sources you're using. 7.1% of the US population IS NOT gay. It's closer to 2-3% and has always been roughly 2-3%. You're quoting a gallop poll, one of the MANY left winged polling companies that are known to manipulate statistics in order to fit their world view and whatever the current liberal narrative is.
I won't bother getting into the ways they do this, since we all know, or at least should know, how they do it by now. But I WILL however point out that this specifically references adults, and neglects to mention the several polls and studies they've attempted to cover up showing a drop in the number of queers in people under 30, as well as a drop in queer acceptance among people in the same age group. This was quickly "corrected" in the next couple polls and studies they put out, but it was a slip up on their part.
Regardless, you're right in that it's not normal, and they've been TRYING to normalize it using false statistics and propaganda campaigns. Though I maintain it's a mental illness either way, and there's probably a treatment for it they've suppressed, but won't release because they want everything to devolve into degeneracy.
Great comments and I agree that the REAL numbers are much lower, but that does not change the context or conclusions of this post ;)
Also agree,
A couple of the things that happen in these polling places are:
Carefully framed questions "to be objective" but are made specifically so that the person listening will tend to a specific answer where the real answer would be along a 'don't know / don't care'
People on the phone with someone stupid might just 'fill in' correct answers to get them off the phone sooner.
Using their "random pools" that are already tending towards their desired results.
All of this, plus throwing out results that don't agree with their preconceived result as "outliers", using bots and false reporting to pump up the results towards their desired outcome, and if all else fails, just straight up lying by making crap up while claiming that it was an "anonymous study/poll".
I have little doubt, I was only speaking to things I had witnessed/noticed for the brief period I worked as a phone monkey for one of those polling places. Though, at that time, bots weren't really an option.
