Rhetoric among ENDA's supporters about minority rights is politically savvy but deeply deceptive. But the push for such legislation has little to do with genuine concern about workplace prejudice. Market surveys show that homosexuals, on average, have higher incomes than the average household. Specifically, ENDA is wrong for several reasons. Traditional religion cites heterosexual marriage as the ideal for sexual expression.
Sex is a powerful force with great capacity for good or evil.
History shows that full sexual liberation, shorn of all taboos, leads not to freedom but anarchy. A national policy that treats sexual practice as no different from ethnic identity would emasculate traditional moral restraints regarding sexuality. Third, sexual conduct is the product of free will and not an immutable, morally neutral characteristics such as ethnicity or gender. Even if sexual orientation is genetically predetermined, for which the evidence is indeterminate, the capacity for free choice in terms of behavior remains. Only a complete nihilist would advocate the equality of all behaviors in the same way that we should affirm racial or gender equality.
