"Ahem" yourself...
in reply to a message by Daividh
Anything which deviates from society's "norm" may be considered "aberrant behavior".
If you feel comfortable applying that term to homosexuals, then you should feel equally comfortable applying that term to religious and societal minorities in this country, as well. The Amish, for instance, are "aberrant".
However, I strongly doubt that your use of the term "aberrant behavior" for the Amish might convey the same negativity as your use of that term for homosexuals. Particularly with your reference to "blame" in the same sentence.
Oh, and one thing more...

Yer darn right it's my prerogative. And ya might as well know that when we were teenagers, we'd have a few beers and go out and kick one around whenever we felt like it! Then we'd...
snap his suspenders, pull on his beard, forcibly put curtains in his windows, and wire his house for electricity. Dayum cheesepackers!
