Heterosexuality is considered more mature and a preferred way of expressing sexuality. Homosexuality is just a phase of development that many people to through and most people grow out of. Gays should be treated with the protectiveness and indulgence one uses with children. Gays and lesbians should not be given positions of authority because they are still working through adolescent behaviors. Implies that homosexuality is something one must accept but not feel positive about.
Mere acceptance ignores the pain of invisibility and the stress of closeted behavior.
Acknowledging that being different in our society takes strength.
