Normal sexual behavior consists of a man and a woman, therefore it is abnormal for two men or two women to have sex. The ultimate goal of every organism is to reproduce, I'm sure most biologists would agree with me. Aside from asexual organisms this happens between the male and female of all species. How could it not be considered an abnormality if an organism chooses not to reproduce but engage in homosexual activity?
As I have already stated, sex for humans extends far beyond simple reproductive purposes, and with relatively recent developments in things like artificial insemination, you don't have to be straight to reproduce. It isn't an abnormality, first off, because the "organism" does not CHOOSE to be gay, as you claim. Second, one could very easily argue that sex, especially in this day and age, has a more important role in society and social interactions than it does in reproduction. Thanks to today's culture, if you realize you're gay, you no longer have to find a woman and be trapped in a loveless relationship to appease everyone you know. Reproduction has served it's function, and as a primary goal of sex, it has passed. Or, are you against people who use birth control to enjoy sex without reproducing? Are they abnormal as well?
