If it's not normal, where do babies come from?


LifeSite News reports that researchers at the University of Michigan have concluded that the love stories told in classic Disney and other G-rated children's films - such as the Little Mermaid - are partially to blame for the pervasiveness of what they label "heteronormativity."
Apparently this term is intended to describe the misguided belief that "normal" sexuality consists in the the interaction of one man and one woman.
I must confess, I have been one of those misled by this apparent heresy. However, I am confused because it is still my understanding that the preservation of the species essentially depends upon such relationships. Obviously that can't be correct... maybe babies really do come from cabbage patches.
