perversion
1388, "action of turning aside from truth, corruption, distortion" (originally of religious beliefs), from pervert (v.) (q.v.). Psychological sense of "disorder of sexual behavior in which satisfaction is sought through channels other than those of normal heterosexual intercourse" is from 1892, originally including homosexuality.
"Perversions are defined as unnatural acts, acts contrary to nature, bestial, abominable, and detestable. Such laws are interpretable only in accordance with the ancient tradition of the English common law which ... is committed to the doctrine that no sexual activity is justifiable unless its objective is procreation." [A.C. Kinsey, et.al., "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male," 1948]

Sounds like these definitions agree with you.
I think what people are many times trying to say is not that homosexuality is normal but that those who commit such sins are still people needing salvation and that sometimes they end up where they are because perversion was deemed normal to them from childhood because they were vicimized by molestation or somesuch. Compassion is needed rather than judgment. Jesus didn't come into the world to condemn it because He that doesn't believe is condemned already. But He came into the world to save it.
