This is an interesting article, but Saletan is off-base to suggest that liberals are behind the times in fighting a culture war for the equal rights and valuation of queer people. Rather, the development of ever-more invasive and deep reaching biomedical treatments of those who are in some way "different" suggests that we need to change strategy.

The problem with many of the cultural arguments about biological basis for sexuality (as well as other forms of difference) is that they don't really address the premise that gay=bad. Constructing sexuality as a biology/choice binary fails to account for the lived experiences of many people, both gay and straight (and everywhere in between). For some people, sexuality feels as though it's set in stone; for others, there is an element of choice.

Too often, the "liberal" use of biology is to excuse sexuality (since it's not chosen, but innate, we can't blame people for it and treat them unfairly). As biomedical technologies such as the ones Saletan points to grow, we will no longer have the luxury of making this argument. Rather than excusing sexuality as unchosen deviance, anti-homophobic activists will need to reframe the argument as "It doesn't matter whether it's biology, or choice, or a bit of both." We will need to frame queer sexuality not as biological flaw, but as a positive difference.

Yea right just like Down syndrome is a “positive” difference. The negative view of being gay as an immoral choice is diminishing among the populace and the populace is becoming more tolerant and accepting to a point. The problem with the gay community is they play both ends of the spectrum to suite they’re needs. On one hand they claim it is not their fault and can’t help being gay. Then they also go out to have really gay parades and celebrate their lifestyle.
Winning the moral fight was easy, convincing people that they shouldn’t have abortion because their child may be gay will not happen. That senerio will put religious people on the spot.
