My initial thought was that, upon a cursory reading of this section, perhaps this was written as an example of how farce and thinly veiled bigotry presented as "logic" may present itself , in educational settings or whichever unfortunate students who were tasked with studying it .... That being said, I doubt I'd be the first to express my opinion that this section on homosexuality and, "logic", was really quite speculative and projected the views and "logic" of the author onto others. Sexuality is indeed a complex matter, and the author does a great job of breaking down some of the ways in which the mind may process those types of thoughts. But as soon as the explanations start throwing around words like "morals" and so on, well, there you've ventured into opinion territory. And you know what they say about a#sholes and opinions. I'm glad I had a good logic professor when I attended school. This guy is pretty wrong headed on a lot of stuff.

Hello, mjamie0,
This is to advise you that I have deleted your second posting, namely:
"Honestly, its great that theres been some response here, but the content is suspect as he1l. Some of it feels like its bordering on bigotry at times.
So I would probably blame the source, although in fairness its mostly ok."
The reason I did so was the photo you pasted in there.

Hello, mjamie0.
In reply to your commentary: it seems that your "good logic professor" sorely misled you about the possibility of logic helping inform us on moral matters.
I suggest you study chapter 7 of my book on David Hume, concerning the is-ought dichotomy:

And if you have the patience, go on and study my book on Volition:

Maybe this will help you to distinguish between opinion and knowledge.
