the premise of your is that homosexuality is 'abnormal'. This is incorrect. It is incorrect if for no other reason that homosexuality would have died out in the human population ages ago and clearly this has not happened.

Merriam Webster's Delux Dictionary:
abnormal: deviating from the normal or average.
But I have stated that it can be argued that it is normal to have a certain percentage of the population be abnormal.
There are abnormalities in all of nature, so it is normal to have a certain amount of abnormality.

As to the legal arguments raised above about gays wanted special rights.... again the premise of that argument is flawed. Gay people are not looking for special rights, they're looking for the same rights enjoyed by their fellow citizens. Anything less than that is legally authorized discrimination.

I would think that when couples of the same sex are asking to be married under the law, they are asking for special rights. As has been pointed out by another poster they already have the same rights of marriage as any citizen. They can marry whoever they choose of the opposite sex.
