The Truth!  To say they are abnormal implies, to many, a danger... that
it's someone they shouldn't trust, shouldn't hire, shouldn't rent to, etc.

Beyond that, look in the DSM IV (the standard psychological diagnostic
manual):  Homosexuality is *NOT* an abnormality.  As previously stated, it
may be atypical (like a lot of things), but it carries with it no mental
disorders, no concerns.

Throwing around words like "abnormal" is irresponsible.
