Some people seem to class mechanophilia as abnormal yet homosexuality as normal. you can't seperate the two. They are both Fettishes/paraphilias in the same boat.

You can separate them quite easily because, to borrow from Maeni's post, homosexuality does not "prevent or hinder one's ability to receive reciprocal love" and it's considered less abnormal all the time. Moreover, the prevalence of dysfunction and mental illness occurring in conjunction with homosexuality subsides as the stigma is reduced. In other words, homosexuality is not the homosexual's mental affliction; you are.
