We have a client who is a homosexual. Successful, wealthy. Many of his employees are also homosexuals. Extensive exposure has convinced me that they don't so much care about "rights" as they are driven to try to make others accept them as normal. They want their lifestyle to be considered normal. That biology argues against that just makes them mad.
I think this is correct.
The desire to be seen as "normal" is certainly understandable. Nobody likes to think of themselves, or to be thought of, as "abnormal."
The problem is, of course, that homosexuality is not "normal" in the sense of being counted among "the usual, average, or typical state or condition."
The "usual condition" for humans everywhere is a proper correspondence between biological and psychological characteristics -- people with boy parts liking people with girl parts, and vice versa. And of course "normal" corresponds to the usual biological processes of reproduction. It all fits together.
Of course, everybody knows this, and everybody knows that homosexual behavior is outside this norm, and can never be made to fit within it: it's pretty much impossible.
So what we're really seeing is an attempt to enforce a
pretense of normality. Same-sex "marriage" is the same as normal marriage; I can choose whether or not to honor the normal correspondence between biology and psychology; and so on.
