Homosexuality is Abnormal but Not Morally Wrong

I don't know how to define normality, but I don't think it makes sense to basically equate normality with a trait that is held by a majority of the population and abnormality with a trait that is held by a minority of the population. It leads to weird conclusions when you start trying to apply these terms at different levels. As /u/Panoplism points out, "[Y]ou'll be hard pressed to find a level of the animal kingdom that homosexuality does not exist at." Given this, a majority of animal species have been documented to engage in homosexual behavior. So a species is normal if some of its members engage in homosexual behavior, but the individuals that do are individually considered abnormal. That seems odd to me.
