Mike, what exactly is 'normal' and who decides? That whole definition really sounds very socialist to me. Does everybody have to fit into someones definition of 'normal'? Blacks are a minority - and they did not have the same rights as whites did for a long time. 100 years ago Women were not a minority and they still didn't have the same rights.
If it was a true democracy then a majority would be able to oppress any minority they wanted to whatever degree they wanted. That sorta sounds like what the GOP is trying to do to gays... 
And the 80s were a good choice. I was working in hospitals doing electronics and such,and had to go in a bunch of wards in various hospitals where people with AIDS were kept. I had to go through a lot of medical training in order to be working on the equipment, and one of the things I had to learn was infectious disease transmission types. The paranoia involving gays/AIDS was vastly overblown by the type of people who thought that even being in the same building as a gay person would get you infected.
