Lack of control is what’s at issue–in this case, lust–and it isn’t unique to homosexuals. If homosexuality were synonymous with lust, we would have no accidental pregnancies anywhere in the world.
And I don’t see why lack of control should be any more of a problem for homosexuals than for heterosexuals. If restraint matters–and it does–then it matters to all of us. If society won’t encourage restraint, then all of us suffer.
Ever since he announced, in that infamous press conference, that he was a “gay American,” actual gay Americans have had conflicting opinions about Jim McGreevey. We can’t seem to decide whether to ridicule him as the corrupt hack that he is or welcome him with open arms into gaydom.
I have no problem with this whatsoever. McGreevey is a corrupt hack who should be ridiculed for hiding under the doubtful term “gay American” for his irresponsible behavior and lack of control in public office.
