"Because a homosexual orientation is complex and multi-dimensional,
some academics and researchers, especially in Queer studies, have
argued that it is a historical and social construction. In 1976 the
historian Michel Foucault argued that homosexuality as an identity did
not exist in the eighteenth century; that people instead spoke of
"sodomy", which referred to sexual acts. Sodomy was a crime that was
often ignored but sometimes punished severely (see sodomy law).

Pleasure (physical and emotional) to themselves, no harm done to others, so
why should it be wrong?

The absense of any sensible argument that there is anything wrong in
it.

The idea that there is some ethical whammy in sex is pretty much confined to
the superstitious.

What is wrong with adultery is the breech of contract, not the sex.

What is wrong with rape, is the violent assault or coercion with threats of
violence.

May be true for higher level 'rational' behaviours. Not true for
everything. What 'kind of thinking pattern, philosophy about life and
world' drives your response to hunger?

What makes you think it is any of those things, and not their
fundamental neurological make up?

You may as well ask someone with Aspergers Syndrome what is the
philosophy that makes them exhibit impaired social skills.

Like they have a choice....

Agreed.

There is no reason to believe that all homosexuals have the same ideas
about sexual morality.
Do you think all heterosexuals have the same moral philosophy?

I don't believe this is right at all. I think the reason "homosexuality"
came to be a matter of identity was the rise of romantic marriage, which was
the result of industrialization. Of course, there...

If you could start by telling by what philosophy, logic, and science
heterosexuals think there is nothing wrong with mixed-sex relations -
one that applies to al heterosexuals and all mixed-sex relationships -
maybe we would have a start.

The same thing that makes heterosexuals believe that there is nothing wrong
with it: The fact that there is nothing wrong with it.

Worried about yourself? That's nobody else's problem. Our problem with you
is that you don't understand the distinction between reality and the noises
going on in your head.
