Homosexual activists like the playwright Larry Kramer and the writer Gabriel Rotello, author of Sexual Ecology — an important weaving together of ecology theory, epidemiology, and sexual politics — have been ferociously attacked by their fellow gay activists for publicly acknowledging that AIDS results as much from human behaviors as from specific microbes.
Among secularists, gay
activists, liberal politicians, and the
like, it is taken for granted that
homosexual urgings are «natural,» in the sense of being innate (the word nature comes from the Latin natus, «to be born» as, in fact, does the word innate); and since the urges are natural in that sense (or so goes the claim), what's wrong with satisfying them?
