Recently I've realized there's much more to homosexuality than just same-sex attraction. I used to buy that line, that gays were exactly like straights with a swapped sexuality, but I don't think that's the case anymore. IMO you can't modify much about human sexuality without massively affecting other parts of the psyche. Even the most popularly posited theories (in utero hormone level, childhood sexual abuse, etc) suggest massive changes to the entire person, even if they can't fully explain it. I'm not gonna pretend to have all the answers, but it infuriates me when people say it's just like heterosexuality when it's not. Many counterarguments try to say that straights can have fucked up sexualities/lives too, or that gays can live normal lives, and I'm not disputing either of those things. I'm just saying that homosexuality clusters with other deviances and disorders.
Anyways I wouldn't necessarily say it's evil, but it feels like LGB have to work twice as hard to be normal, since other parts of the personality/disposition are geared towards deviance. Forcing gays into leading lives of celibacy or trying conversion therapy would be counterproductive and fuck them up further, but they'll have to work hard at stamping out deviances the same way an alcoholic can't have a drop of the stuff.
