>Third confusion: that if a predeliction is biological,
then you have to act on it. Which is nonsense.
Straight people have a biological predilection to have
sex with the opposite sex, but celibacy is possible.
Indeed, actual. I mean voluntary celibacy. So if the
problem really was that homophobes thought that GLB
people people make bad choices, the "it's biological"
ansdwer would not satisfy them. And should not.


>The real thing to be said is that whether or not being
GLB or having homoereotic desires -- and acting on
them -- is biological or changeable or not is all
irrelevant. The real point is that it's perfectly OK
to love whomever you like, if you are lucky enough to
have someone love you in return. And if you or I or
anyone else doesn't care himself or herself to love
people of the same sex or whatever, that's OK for you,
and has no implications for anyone else. And that's
all there is, coherently, to be said.

Spot on. Lovely.
