How many orientations can be constructed from the preceding factors? Conservative orientation? Welfare? Drug? Heterosexual? Liberal? Criminal? Pedophile? Racist? Gang? Homosexual?
Which of the preceding orientations are grounded in something really real? Which should be privileged? Which might suggest impure motives on the part of those who would assert them? What are the dangers of reification of thinking concepts (e.g.,

sexual orientation) produce effects in the real world (e.g., gay sex). Do heterosexuals owe their existence to homosexuality or vice versa? How can a homosexual orientation ever be ontologically equivalent to a heterosexual orientation? What part of gay activism is driven by deepseated intuitions of ontological inferiority? Can social acceptance ever ease those dark intuitions?
Reason No. 4 Disagreements among homosexuals themselves about the nature of homosexual behavior.
Is it something to be celebrated or resisted? What ethic governs homosexuality? How does it differ from heterosexual ethics? Which form(s) of homosexuality is society supposed to accept?
Reason No. 5 Unproven claims and biased research on the biology of homosexuality.
How much of the evidence in favor of a biological basis for homosexuality comes from advocacy researchers i.e., researchers who have prior commitments to justifying homosexuality? How much of that evidence has been validated? How much has been shown to be defective? Why is such research always aimed at justifying homosexuality rather than curing it?
Reason No. 7 Use of violence and intimidation to advance mainstream acceptance of homosexuality.
Why do gays find violence and intimidation necessary to advance their cause? If violence and intimidation are justifiable in advancing gay demands, why arent they justifiable in resisting those demands?
Reason No. 8 Efforts by homosexuals to obstruct people seeking relief from homosexual impulses.
Should homosexuals be permitted to come out in response to the discovery of their heterosexuality the same way heterosexuals come out as homosexuals?

If homosexuals can block attempts at changing gender identity, why shouldnt heterosexuals do the same? Why should the change in gender identity from straight to gay always be a one-way street? How much do we know about the causes, prevention, and cures of homosexuality? How much of that information is suppressed by gay activism?
Reason No. 12 Equation of bias against homosexuality with other prejudgments; e.g., race, sex, and religion.
Is homosexuality like religion and subject to change?
7 http://historeo.com/?p=84 Bill Brewer, 2012
Is homosexuality like race and morally neutral? Or is homosexuality fraught with moral implications like the fact of being male or female? If so, what are those implications?
against exposure to homosexuality to (2) one that now confers children on gay couples in order to legitimate same-sex relationships? Do homosexual marriages give or receive legitimacy through adoption of children? What about heterosexual marriages?
Reason No. 16 The apparent lack of moral courage in those who are silent in the face of gay advocacy.
But first . . . Is moral courage even possible without moral clarity? Do gay advocates seek moral clarity? Or rather a different morality?
Reason No. 17 The social and individual benefits resulting from suppression of homosexuality.
Do people experiencing same-sex attraction live longer, healthier lives in a society that suppresses homosexual behavior or in one that encourages it? Does a society promote life and health by suppressing same-sex sexuality or by encouraging it? If equality of real money with play money wipes out the value of money for everyone (counterfeiters included), then why wouldnt the equality of gay marriage with heterosexual marriage likewise wipe out the meaning of marriage for gays and non-gays alike? Do humans have natural affections, negative and positive? Do natural

affections motivate uncivil responses to homosexuality? Can uncivil reactions be eliminated without undermining natural affections? How does the suppression of homosexuality simultaneously prevent abuse of natural affections AND abuse of homosexuals?
Reason No. 18 Questionable outings of historical figures to make homosexuality appear respectable.
Was the Apostle Paul a closet homosexual because he spoke against same-sex sexuality? Was Jesus bisexual because he loved both Mary and Martha along with their brother Lazarus? Who could not be outed based on such reasoning?
Reason No. 20 The reduction of objections to homosexuality to simply matters of ignorance, bigotry . . .
Is name calling on the part of gay activists a dodge to avoid legitimate questions? Is criticism of same-sex sexuality hate speech? If gays claim to embody homosexuality as part of their nature, how can opponents separate aversion to (1) the notion of homosexuality from (2) the people who engage in homosexual behavior? Should the conflation of (1) ideas with (2) persons be challenged as a disingenuous way of shielding questionable ideas and questionable behavior from critique?
Does the heedlessness of same-sex sexuality inspire confidence gay activists are seeking the public good in going public? What part does a guilty conscience play in gay activism? Are gays willing to put innocent people at risk to gain what they want? What about calls for eliminating restrictions on blood donations? What about the forcible outing of homosexuals by other homosexuals? What about demands for ending dont ask, dont tell regardless of impact on national security? What about unwillingness to go public when it comes to public health?
