What I posted before was an answer, but I'll be happy to try again.
IMNSHO Yes. The person you describe is probably doubly hard wired. He would be predisposed to act in certain ways regarding sex. If he were to act on one of those 2 drives he would be committing a crime and should be locked up with some arian nation gorilla for eternity. Can you guess which one?
Using the strictest definition of 'abnormal', I think it is safe to say that homosexuality is abnormal. Where we differ and I think where most people fall victim to the point you are trying to make is this:
abnormal = bad
homosexual = abnormal
therefor
homosexual = bad.
The first premis is not valid. Abnormal means "adj 1: not normal; not typical or usual or regular or conforming to a norm"
The real question we need to answer here... and I know it will be impossible, but that's what BBS's are for...
Is homosexuality a behavior or is it an attribute?
I think that is that same as asking whether left handedness is a behavior or an attribute. And just like lefthandedness, homosexuality hurts no one.
