What does "normal" mean? It's not normal in the sense that we are "supposed" to be attracted to the opposite sex in order to procreate and keep our species alive. In that case it's kind of the opposite of normal. Then again, maybe it is normal because it acts as some sort of minor population control mechanism since not everyone has the desire to procreate? :P
Anyways, it could be changed. Anything about us humans can be changed.

Is Altzeimers normal? Is Depression Normal? Is Schizophrenea Normal?
They occur randomly in a small percentage of the population, but is it normal? If it were normal, why would we search for treatments to these normal occurances?
Do you agree that the above 3 are disorders? Do you agree that they affect a persons freedom and ability to make decisions?
Is Homosexuality any different?
Altziermers makes you incapable of memory, and forces you to live a certain way. Deperession forces you to always be gloomy, and not able to enjoy yourself as much as your mind would like it to. Schizophrenea alters your sense of what's real, which makes you make decisions which are bizarre. Does homosexuality not prevent you from heterosexual relationships? For those wishing to live Heterosexual lives, does it not restrict their freedoms?

Nope. I think such conditions give a different view on things. Same with conditions such as Introversion and Aspergers. Introversion is experienced by fewer of the population, but accounts for a greater share of the brilliant minds of the time.

LOL okay, that's a good way to look at homosexuality in a positive manner. To a degree, I agree, I like shopping with homosexuals, they tell me what I look good and bad in, where girls tend not to tell you what you look bad in.

It's more a sense of looking at all states of the mind as neither positive or negative. I think it can be argued that some manual mind-altering methods (eg drugs) have brought us some of the most influential music in history. It's just another aspect at looking at the world.
