"Normal" is a societal label applied to put a laser like focus on something it doesn't like, so others can "tsk tsk" and apply the appropriate amount of peer pressure. Which then allows the violent suppression to kick in. I was hanging out at the RHPS 35 years ago. Lots of guys and girls kissing. It was PERFECTLY normal then and there, and a LOT of people are quite happy to continue with it on the "outside". 35 years of progression in that area must have annoyed you. The problem is, YOUR society and MY societies aren't the same, and mine is slowly overwhelming yours. At least it's a problem to you.

His and yours are essentially the same. The line from MIB is appropriate here... " A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Everything they've ever "known" has been proven to be wrong. A thousand years ago everybody knew as a fact, that the earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew that the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on it. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow." You are smart. Its going to take the "people" a while...that is if they ever... Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.
