Of course a person could be 7 foot 6 inches, and live a normal healthy happy life, but this would be a medical abnormailty, a benign one, but nonetheless an abnormality. if a person exceeded 25 BMI they would be overwieght and under 17 underweight.

For the record these are rough estimates for the variables, the point i'm trying to make is that most people (well this is dreamviews so who knows) would accept being 7 foot 6 inches as a benign medical abnormality, but not homosexuality for some reason. Rather than accept this some people try to wriggle away from the truth by citing artifical insemination etc. The thing is, I Don't see why they are trying to cover it up, diabetics are not ashamed that they have a medical condition, so why should homosexuals be, and as a result try to pass it off as medically normal?
Wow. We can't do anything more to discredit you than you've just done yourself. First, if you wished to construct an ideal person, you would be a medical abnormality: a sociopathic eugenicist. One of humanity's greatest strengths as an earth species is the diversity of traits we are able to maintain without speciation. The very idea of an "ideal human" is inhuman. In terms of the normal distribution of traits within the species, a person who is 6' 6" is somewhat farther from the center than someone who is homosexual (not accounting for for other traits), and averaging out a number of traits, a homosexual could fall quite close to the center, while any number of heterosexuals would fall quite far away.

In any given population of one thousand humans, would it be "normal" if there were no homosexuals? In any city of a couple hundred thousand, would it be "normal" if there were no homosexual culture (in other words, no norms governing homosexuality)? No trait or behavior needs to be the single most common in order to fall within expected norms. Local cultural acceptance =/= normality.
