Ellen Page is gay
Well, that's interesting.
http://gawker.com/ellen-page-comes-o...ium=socialflow Actress Ellen Page publicly came out as gay Friday evening, while giving a speech at Time to THRIVE, a national LGBTQ youth conference held in Las Vegas. "I'm here today because I am gay," Page told the assembled crowd, which responded with a standing ovation and a long chorus of cheers. "Whoo!" said Page, before continuing: Quote:
After her speech, the Human Rights Campaign, which organized the conference, congratulated Page on the front page of its website for "her brave decision to live openly and authentically." Last edited by Hammock Parties; 02-15-2014 at 01:09 AM.. |

I really don't like the term normal in any sociological or psychological discussion.
What is normal? |

Apparently "normal" is defined by what the majority of the populace considers it to be in whichever situation. At least that seems to be the vibe Donger is throwing out.

Normal is what the vast majority of people are. And I realize that many people don't "like" it.

Bisexuals are abnormal? Not according to your description of normal. They have the proper sexual organs to mate the with opposite sex, and the desire. They just have additional desires to go along with their normal desires. So for a bisexual, your definition of normal and your definition of abnormal could both apply simultaneously. Which is why your label cannot be accurate.

Edit - I see how you could get that from my post above. That isn't what I was doing there, but I can see how you could view it that way. See 530 for my definition of normal.

Because you stated this:
Which is also what you've alluded to in other threads about homosexuality. If that is incorrect, please feel free to correct it.

I have given that example before to explain why homosexuals have "bad wiring." Regarding bisexuals, I suppose that "occasionally confused wiring" would be more accurate. But both asre abnormal with regard to societal norms in the United States.

Depends on the specifics, I suppose. Homosexuality will never be a societal norm, however.

Normal is a cultural construction, which is the entire problem with trying to enforce it. You are asserting inorganic absolutes on dynamic individuals. No one is normal, but most people posture as such in order to appear so to the rest of society. Part of what upsets many people in this thread, such as those who don't like certain open decrees of one's gayness, is that such decrees flout the framework of normativity, shining light on the nudity of the emperor.
