The homosexual who would impute the e of his sexual orientatn to ‘nature’, or an ‘sential ndn, ’ or (nowadays) his geic make-up is actg bad fah. Sartre assum that homosexualy and wardice are alike that both are misnsted as beg evable, or as havg some e other than the dividual’s choice. ” Likewise, says Sartre, the homosexual treats his ‘ndn’ as termg his behavur.
One problem wh this analogy is that rts on an unproven assumptn, and one that has always been absolutely ccial to the ratnale of homophobia (sofar as homophobia has any ratnale). Image for a moment that stead of drawg the analogy between wardice and homosexualy, Sartre had stead ed wardice and heterosexualy.
So why do Sartre imply that homosexualy is a choice some fundamental way that heterosexualy is not?
