Although such an approach still continues amongst a few, since 1973 the American Psychiatric Association has officially removed homosexuality from its clinical listing of pathologies, seeing it as non-pathological in itself. Ironically, some of the leading clinicians, and notably Freud, had never viewed it as a pathology: in 1935 Freud could write in a famous "letter to mother" that "whilst homosexuality is assuredly no advantage, it is nothing to be classified as an illness; we consider it to be a variation of the sexual development"."

So you see, the view you express is an old belief which modern science has all but outdated.
the definition of a pathology is a physiological variation, which is deemed "problematic", that's all. It clearly is a physiological variation, but we've since decided not to conclude it as being problematic. This doesn't change the fact that it's a physiological variation. Prejudice, on the other hand, is a psychological pathology, as it assuredly is problematic.
I'm not saying you're prejudiced, but I am saying that the majority, unfortunately, is.
