You are quick to call me bigoted (which is a form of bigotry itself), but I am being objective

Here is an extreme example of why I consider homosexuality a potential behaviour disorder. Homosexuality is common among prison inmates and violent offenders. We've all heard the expression "Don't drop the soap!"

I'm not going to say such things are rare either, because the aren't. I myself have witnessed mischief-type crimes committed by gays, assault by gays on other single men, and have been harassed. It is my belief that homosexuality is just one form of deviant behaviour that is tolerated by many, just as polygamy, nudism, and sadomasochism are also tolerated. But it is not necessarily different from unacceptable deviant behaviours such as pedophilia, autoerotic asphyxiation, snuff.

But then there are hermaphrodites, people born with both male and female sex organs, often with one underdeveloped. Obviously these people didn't ask to be born this way. I am equally skeptical that this is normal. All of the above may be caused by chemical imbalances in the womb, and like cancer might be preventable if caught early enough. We should understand the nature of this medical condition before giving special status to those who suffer from it. That is unless you can point to a reason why they exist that benefits humans generally?
