It's not a question of my reading being "uncharitable" or charitable toward Saletan. It is merely accurate. What Saletan wrote was:

"Would male androphilia be treated like sickle-cell anemia—the unfortunate cost of a genetic mutation that's beneficial in other people? We medicate sickle-cell anemia. Would we medicate homosexuality?

"I don't know, and neither does Dr. Camperio Ciani." [emphasis added]

Saletan is clearly leaving open the posibility that he would support "medicating" homosexuality, as if it were a disease.
