norms are not concrete. they change over time. your categorisation of them as ‘aberrant’ (when what you probably privately mean is ‘abhorrent’) is an example of your outdated norm clashing with the new norm. you are not appealing to some categorically provable, objective ‘normal’ reality, here: we are discussing human behaviour and society. homosexuality is as old as our species so who are you to call it ‘abnormal’? the difference is that society now is making attempts to become tolerant and understanding of these age-old groups instead of suspicious, fearful and bigoted.
Maybe, should still not be rammed down the throats of small children when they aren't developed enough to take a rational view.
society has been using toy guns and barbies, thinly veiled cartoons and pink/blue clothing to 'ram' identity down children's throats for decades before they are of 'rational' age.. judging by the number of raging incels on the planet at the moment, and what with the nasty discourse about 'men going their own way' and feminist critics, i think we need a few more drag queens. america has a much bigger problem with hyper-masculinity than it does with homosexuality.
why are you so critical about alternative lifestyles and minority cultures but don't question mainstream norms at all? almost all academic discourse about 'norms' (i.e. germany's 19th century obsession) normally involves a critique of norms, or a structural study of their formation. you just seem to think that norms come from God, or are a priori in human nature or something, that favourite ideological camoflague of yours, 'rational' (hint: the range of societies on earth now and throughout long history contradicts your view).
spare me the malthusian bullshit about the future of western society, too. it's always you shut-ins who don't have kids and won't ever have kids who have such a 'concern' about the sexual habits and productivity of the rest of society.
