"Deviant" refers to a person, behavior, or thing that departs significantly from accepted social, cultural, or moral norms.
In today's American society, homosexuality isn't deviant. It's widely accepted.
I'd say it's more accepted than ancient superstitions demanding a certain form of behavior, or the labelling of said behavior as sinful, such that you have to beg a mythical being for forgiveness for engaging in it, or even desiring it.
Would you stop believing in your ancient superstitions, and leave your cult, if we deemed it deviant? Is that label the determining factor in what should and should not be allowed and/or encouraged/discouraged?
