As the police affidavit at their bond hearing made clear, the men seem to have been drifters, moving frequently from town to town. So they would have had little occasion to come into much contact with a gay community or discover whether our community had any values to impart. Mainstream culture promotes a sexual morality that focuses on sexual relationships between men and women. Specifically, it focuses on regulating penis-vagina sex to preserve virginity or prevent pregnancy virtually to the exclusion of any other considerations. Even more, by condemning same-sex activities as immoral in themselves, mainstream culture implies that there cannot be any sexual morality to guide gays in their activities.
All homosexual activity is immoral and that is all there is to say.
This can have at least two further implications. And it may suggest that since their sexual partners are also behaving immorally, the partners' well-being need not be an important concern for them. Since the partners are immoral people they probably deserve anything that happens to them. This is wildly false, but it is understandable how some people, particularly in religiously conservative regions, might think so. The more a culture insists on the immorality of homosexuality, the more it encourages heedless, irresponsible behavior by homosexuals.
