Homosexuality - normal behaviour?
I don't think homosexuality can, objectively, be called "normal" behaviour. Surveys and censuses that ask people their sexual orientation seem to produce around 1% of respondents suggesting they are homosexual. As it seems to me that people generally often don't want to admit the truth to a researcher asking them a personal question or some people may not wish to disclose their sexuality, this figure is probably an underestimate. I recall that other recent research, involving analysis of searches on Google for particular search terms, suggests that around 5% of people are homosexual. Even if the true proportion of the population that are gay, bi-sexual or lesbian could be up to twice this amount, that is still between 5-10%. "Normal", however, refers to the majority or the commonly practised general behaviour. Here, it seems that 90% or more of people are heterosexual and that heterosexuality is therefore the "norm". With 10% or fewer people being homosexual etc., I don't think that can be called anywhere near the "norm". It isn't normal behaviour therefore - the norm is to be heterosexual like possibly 90% of people are - even though there is nothing wrong with homosexuality and it is the way that, for example, a man may express his love legitimately for another man. It's perfectly valid and natural behaviour, in the right context e.g. in private if sex of any kind is private, and there is nothing wrong with it but it is a stretch to call it normal. It's natural but not normal. 10% isn't the norm: the norm is the 90% that are not homosexual. aspaa (talk 19:48, 14 August 2017 (UTC).

humanist marxism
isn't normalization first introduced by marx? was any reason to not add this here before or just incomplete. 2804:7F0:6400:5AB4:9440:1130:FFE4:3CAC (talk) 18:31, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
