Well, by defintion, homosexuality is "deviant": Differing from a norm or from the accepted standards of a society.  That word has sort of a bad connotation to it though...so I think I see what your saying.

I dunno if its genetic, social, environmental, or what....im not sure i really care. Like almost everything, it's probably a combination of factors.....i can't think of a human personality trait that has only ONE single point of origin.

Personally, I think Cheney should of left his daughter out of it, which would of precluded Kerry to keep her out of it...on and on.  Now that she's been mentioned, well, she's a big girl...ask her what she thinks...at which point every candidate should then respect her request.

  Well, if you believe being gay is genetic, then it could be him, his
  wife, or a random mutation.  A friend is a geneticist - I'll ask ...
  that's a good question.

  I still think all of the outrage is based on the assumption that being
  gay is deviant.  Let's say she was  a successful doctor - then
  mentioning her public position on, say, healthcare, wouldn't be
  considered a "cheap shot".

  In the same way this shouldn't be either.
