His position is warrented because as a matter of conscience he refuses to do
something that he views as harmful to individuals and society. He has thoughtfully
considered the impacts on the participants therapists/clients and determined that
the compromised circumstance sensual nature of the service is not as safe as it
is promoted to be. The emerging research supports his view.


Huh?

His position, if I recall your correctly from some time back, is that he doesn't want to give massages to homosexual men because he disapproves of homosexuality. Strongly disapproves. Believes, even, that it is evil and unnatural and deviant and antisocial and anything else you want to toss into the pot.

But how does that make giving such massages unsafe? Does he think he's going to get anally raped by a semi-naked client lying on his massage table? Does he think he's going to get AIDS from touching the skin of a potentially infected client, and if so, I assume he's screening heterosexual clients for herpes and other diseases? How is massaging a homosexual man who you don't know to be homosexual and who gives no indication of being homosexual unsafe?

And what view of his do you think emerging research supports?

I'm pretty well, though not all the way, over to Neo's view on homosexuality -- but I can't even come close to understanding your masseuse's view.
