"Unnatural"

Mr. Taylor commented that "another aggressive and defensive reaction is that homosexuality is 'unnatural.' This implies that homosexuals are less than human because their sexual behaviour does not lead to procreation. The logic of this argument cannot be taken too far because of the fallacy of suggesting that the unmarried, or those who are childless or who plan their family, are necessarily 'unnatural'."

He said he thought that once we regarded homosexuals as less than human we were liable to use them as scapegoats lor our sundry grievances.

The conclusion Mr. Taylor drew is that our laws are quite properly shaped to preserve mature heterosexuality: but with our outright condemnation of homosexuality, we sometimes exceed the measures necessary to reinforce hetero sexuality. We even give tacit approval to the less responsible to exploit and blackmail homosexuals.

If homosexuality were tolerated, Mr. Taylor doubted whether there would result an Increase in this form of sexual behaviour.
