As is true of heterosexual people, sexual minorities demonstrate a broad range of qualities. According to Anita Bryant, droughts in northern California twenty-five years ago were caused by the gay mecca of San Francisco. So too, moralists think that the global AIDS crisis reflects the revenge of Mother Nature. To target sexual minorities as cause for disasters makes of them an object. Because of sexual minorities, marriage and family obligations are being undermined.
Sexual minorities become the scapegoat for any number of societal weaknesses.
However, the decrease in birthrate is more likely due to ecomomic, not sexual, factors. The false premise overlooks the fact that heterosexual people cause more harm to innocent or disadvantaged people than homosexual people do. In fact, disabled people have the same sexual and emotional needs as other people. To perpetuate this false premise reflects the desperate ends to which opponents go in order to discredit someone whom they fear or choose not to fully know.
