No Such Thing As Normal

Society has this need or want to control everything and place everything into categorises or boxes and as soon as you don’t fit into the prescribed categorises or boxes that’s not “normal” and there is something wrong with you.
But how do we know if something is normal or not, who dictates this- society? We make up society surely because we are all differ; we will have different views as to what is normal which makes normal something subjective so in fact there is nothing that is “normal” pre-say if normal is different for everyone. Yet people base a number of their agreements on issues like that of homosexuality on the fact that it is not “normal”.
If society could accept and recognise the fact that nothing is really normal there would be fewer bases for discrimination or judgement. There would be greater bases for unity and harmony in society.
