This is an important distinction to remember. But as more heterosexual people became infected AIDS is now seen not merely as a 'gay problem' but as a global concern. An AIDS epidemic is something that should concern us all. Whether we accept homosexual behaviour as normal will depend on a number of factors. First, it depends on our family and upbringing.
Religion also plays a large part and can have a dramatic effect on our morals, values and ethics.
If people believe their God condemns homosexual behaviour then they will most likely condemn homosexual behaviour as well. Another factor is whether we have been exposed to homosexual behaviour. However, a positive encounter could lead one to embrace homosexual values and way of life. All these factors have an influence on whether we see homosexuality as 'normal' or not. Thus homosexual practice seems to be assessed primarily in the light of our presuppositions concerning homosexual behaviour.
