Sartreist existentialism is the bridge between reality and sexual identity. Sexual identity accordingly then defines social realism. If we take it as a given that consciousness is equal to truth, then the idea of social realism comes under deconstructive scrutiny. Consciousness becomes the filter of what is and the meanings of what is. If we may have a conscience about things, then we must attribute moral goodness or blameworthiness of one's own conduct, intentions, or character together with a feeling of obligation to do right or be good It seems that sexual identity does not in and of itself align one with a distinct body of dogma that separates one category of sexual identity from another. So the dogma of being moral or immoral must necessarily be filtered from our collective consciousness of what is implied via one particular sexual identity vs another… at least in the purest sense. That would be an orientation separated from any conduct that is implied by that identity.
