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?

It's a bit different. Certain issues (such as the ones you mentioned) directly affect your ability as a person and your capabilities. Being born a redhead (which is rare), however, doesn't.
Homosexuality falls somewhere in the middle. It doesn't really stop you from doing what you want (assuming you don't want a hetero relationship, which would be weird since you're gay) but it does inhibit your capabilities for procreation (in that you are wired to not want to have sex with the opposite gender).

What about those Homosexuals who with to be heterosexual? Do they not have a "condition" then? Something, which you are already claiming as "weird." Is this a normal way to live a life? Do you not think a "cure" should be found for people like this? or is this a normal and acceptable way to live?

For some reason, this makes me think of the Xmen 3 movie...
In response, wouldn't a homosexual only want to be heterosexual because that's the only thing society sees as "normal" at the moment? I wouldn't say that's the fault of the homosexual. Of course if they want that choice, then they could have it, but I'd say, society still needs to mature a lot itself first.
