He would be more accurately described as what he is - a homosexual. Nothing is ever said about what homosexuals like Wigginton actually do. The debate is framed as if it were a question of the difference between people who prefer to live on the East Coast versus the West Coast.
Most homosexuals lead anything but a normal life.
Their activities are so bizarre, shocking and vulgar they can't be repeated in print even using the softest euphemisms or clinical terms. Every waking moment seems to be obsessed with sex. A profound sense of guilt is probably behind the drive to acquire social approval. Part of that disapproval is based on the fact that homosexuals run a high risk of contracting and spreading serious, sometimes fatal, venereal diseases. Homosexuals are reservoirs of various social diseases passed on by their incredible sexual promiscuity.
