However, I find there is one point in it that is a bit annoying and lessens its credibility. That is, what exactly do homosexuals “do”? And what do they “believe in” ? Would it be correct for someone to say “I don’t agree with what heterosexuals do, or what they believe in”? Do all heterosexuals “do” and “believe in” the same things?
You might say, “I don’t mind X group of people, I just don’t like what they believe in” if that group was actually defined by having that belief (Christianity, for example). But I’m unaware of any set of beliefs linking the homosexual community. And what do gay people “do”? Have sex with members of their own sex? Is this the unmentionable thing? I think probably the statement is one of those that have a lot of unexamined conventions behind it, and it could do with some thought.
