Gayby Baby imbroglio - Denials, fear and a lack of tolerance | Daily Telegraph Miranda Devine Blog
Ostensibly designed to stamp out homophobia, the Proud Schools program aims to eradicate the idea that heterosexuality is the norm in human relationships.
It defines such thinking as bigotry and labels it “heterosexism”.
According to the Proud Schools’ Consultation Report, “positioning heterosexuality as the norm for human relationships [is] discriminating against non-heterosexual people. Heterosexism feeds homophobia.”

So being 'normal depends on what percentage of the Australian population shares your particular makeup. How high would the percentage have to be before you stopped being abnormal (or not the norm as you now like to put it)
aboriginal people comprise only about 2,5% of the population - is that high enough to make them "normal"?

depends on where they are lol. In areas of high aboriginal population they would be the norm.
In areas of low aboriginal population, they would not be the norm.

I thought maybe they could be haters of the opposite sex and find consolation with partners of the same sex. But I find it a disturbing thought that they want to raise children, having that "hate" in the background.
Just thoughtful ramblings.........

How odd. Does a man fall in love with a woman because he hates other men? Let's hope he doesn't want to raise boy children.
