Do you mean that you have evidence that if death is either being freed
from the world of form or the ceasation of the ego, your a homosexual?
There must be a missing premise you left out since;

An argument is a set of two or more propositions related to each other
in such a way that all but one of them (the premises) are supposed to
provide support for the remaining one (the conclusion). The transition
or movement from premises to conclusion, the logical connection
between them, is the inference upon which the argument relies.
