No, I haven't seen that but I have heard some of the related rhetoric.

There is no doubt that human beings are diverse in many ways, including their biology and the circumstances that bring them to a particular orientation. It is unjust for any of us to insist that all people 'feel' or 'perceive' the world and its attractions the same.

However, there are some standards that apply to all of us. There are some goods and bads that are recognizable as universally applicable to human endeavor. It is bad to commit intentionally cruel and torturous acts. It is bad to attempt to corrupt the system so that you personally benefit while others suffer harm. It is good to offer charity to those in need when you have plenty, etc.

In the realm of human sexuality, we find some standards as well. As history reveals and as scripture warns, promiscuity generally brings suffering to those directly involved and to those who are indirectly effected such as spouses, children, friends and family.

A society built on core family values offers a progenisis of benefits that carry from the family to community building, and further to the society at large. This benefit is carried over from one generation to another. Since the gay 'community' does not reproduce itself, it is constantly in a state of redefinition. The definition of what the gay community is at any given time is in reaction to what ever the mainstream community is at that time. Thus, it seems to always be viewed as a somewhat adversarial system. In addition, the gay community tends to proactively engage in the politics of change directed at mainstream society in a way that will change the society at large to be more reflective of a gay values structure and less reflective of the core family values structure.

not that there's anything wrong with that...
