Definitions

Gays may try to defend themselves from the accusation that they are the same as racists, and that they fear people different from themselves, by turning the argument around. They may argue that perhaps straight people suffer from a fear of sexual intimacy with people of their own gender because this type of intimacy is different than what they are accustomed.

However, this argument requires perverting the definition of sexuality. Sexuality is by definition procreative and it's suppose to be mutually pleasurable. Homosexual acts are neither. If the definition of sexuality is perverted to mean any pleasure experienced by a persons sexual anatomy, then anything related to sexuality can be defended.

Of course racists pervert the definition of humanity for the purpose of justifying their beliefs. The racists say that the differences between the races are indications of inferiority or even sub-human status. And by perverting the definition of humanity in this way, they can justify segregation, discrimination, and slavery of the races they fear.

Perverting the definition of race or sexuality is an easy way to justify almost any feeling or behavior no matter how undesirable or limiting.
