Yes. The original argument is defective. Substitute the word 'male' for 'gay,' and you'll see the flaw: 'Male people cannot be normal.

In either case, the argument makes no sense: Being male or female is perfectly normal.

If there is one word that makes creative people different from others, it is the word complexity. Instead of being an individual, they are a multitude.
