“not in favor of the government policing what people do in their bedrooms. But homosexuals should stay in the closet.” In other words, do what you want just so long as you don’t disturb the neighbors.

This, of course, will hardly satisfy the “gay rights” movement, which contends that homosexuals are entitled to privileges denied others—the “right” to a government job or a teaching job, the “right” to serve in the armed forces, and the “right” not to suffer the consequences of moral turpitude. It further contends that the homosexual lifestyle is superior to the heterosexual one, a view that finds some support in Plato’s Symposium. It cites Alfred Kinsey’s evidence that most men have at least one homosexual “experience” in their lives and holds up the psychiatric “finding” that everyone has a little bit of the homosexual in his hormonal structure.
