It's not in DSM!: The dsm is a book containing all psychiatric diagnoses, and homosexuality was removed as a diagnosis in the 1970s. It is now well-accepted by psychologists and psychiatrists that homosexuality is not an illness, and that homosexual people are as well-adjusted as heterosexual people. So yes, it's normal!
