" Normal " homosexuality ? ( Morgan letter )

Robert S. Morgan writes that he is sick of reading that

    homosexuality is " normal "( letter - June 12 , Providence Journal )

             I agree with him that FACTS should not be distorted,and I
    d
      do believe that untruth cannot serve any worthy cause. It does seem

    true that monogamy is rare among homosexuals.

            No thinking homosexual will try to convince the " moral " majority

    that his life-style is " normal ". But it is not irrational to assert that

    it is NATURAL . I think Hegel said that in a sense " whatever is, is RIGHT ".

     I would say that whatever is, is NATURAL.

             A fan of the National Geographic TV series, I am amazed at the

    very strange behavior of the higher mammals - like monkeys who cannibalize

    their young . Strange indeed but not unnatural.

            The laws of nature do not permit violation. If you are religious,

    you can think what you please about the laws of God.

            Rational homosexuals should not demand that the majority approve

    their sexual behavior. They should only demand understanding and a non-

    persecuting society. And no job discrimination where sexual orientation is

    simply irrelevant.

             It is ludicrous for them to push gay marriage. Homosexual intellectuals
    like Gore Vidal - have been the most sarcastic critics of " holy matrimony ".

           Homosexual marriage would be nothing more than a farce of a farce.

        And those very exuberant gay parades probably do more harm to their cause

    than good.

              I will not accuse myself of being completely straight. That is

    my business .
