Yes, much like being obese*, repulsive, goth/emo, anime obsessed, or a Gator fan. Still abnormal though. Being a fellow social liberal, I have no problem with people being any of these, so long as it doesn't infringe on the wellbeing or freedom of others.
*Fatties (and others who make poor health-related decisions) do drive up healthcare costs, and I do feel that they - not society - should be the ones paying for their poor decisions. This should be between the provider and patient, IMO, but I'm pretty sure this is no longer an option under our new HC legislation.
Also, I don't think "animals do it" is the best argument. Cannibalism, rape, incest, and theft are not normal or acceptable, and the animals do all of those.
And population control is not really a valid argument either. Eugenics, genocide, and sterilization are all fine ways of controlling the population, but I wouldn't encourage them. China's centralized efforts of population control have been a nightmare. The government has literally kidnapped and tortured people to force them to have abortions (I''m sure US liberals would cheer their efforts, but that's another subject...). If you actually do manage to have that 2nd child, you have to pay a fee/tax in the range of
3-6 YEARS salary. And of course the male/female ratio is getting a little unfavorable if you're a dude looking to get laid. Population control will occur naturally with or without human efforts or homosexuality.
