In an article titled The Real Problem with Homosexuality,
Ray Rooney Jr., a blogger for the Christian conservative American
Family Association (AFA), opines that the “real problem with
homosexuality” is gay people broadcast their sexuality.
“What I find perverse about homosexuality is the insistence from
the gay community that I should know about their sexual
proclivities,” Rooney
wrote. “Normal people understand that sex is an extremely
intimate and therefore private act. I would find it troubling, if
not disgusting, for anyone to talk publicly about what kind of sex
they like to practice. Normal people do not want to broadcast to the
world the details of their sex lives. There is something wrong with
those who want complete strangers to know who they like to have sex
with.”
He continued: “I believe homosexuality is wrong. Just like I
believe adultery and sex outside of marriage is wrong. But even
though I believe I have good reasons for opposing homosexuality as a
normative lifestyle based on science, medicine, and faith, that is
not why I strongly oppose it. I believe anyone who insists everyone
know what they do in their bedroom and with whom is perverse. Normal
people do not define themselves solely on the basis of who they are
sexually attracted to.”
