The thing is, these words are irrelevant to a discussion of the morality of the issue. One could define the words in a way to leave out homosex.
But it doesn't matter. It's a red herring.
Lots of things are abnormal. Blonde hair, musical genius, Sufism, the vast majority of human beings have many unusual characteristics. That makes everyone abnormal.
People do lots of unnatural things as well. Cooking, science research, praying, no other species does any of these things.
So determining whether something is morally right or wrong has nothing to do with whether it is normal or natural.

Of course it's a red herring.
Yet it's the red herring that those who choose to declare the moral nature of homosexuals, and human sexuality in general, rely on. The misguided notions of the terms natural, unnatural, normal or abnormal.
So where are we now?
We are back full circle.
