The level of confusion engendered by the insistence that gayness is immutable and gender is fluid is impossible to overstate. The linked article really just expands on the confusion.
If this sounds like a massive overreach, consider the fact that the proposed Equality Act — with 201 co-sponsors in the last Congress — isn’t simply a ban on discriminating against trans people in employment, housing, and public accommodations (an idea with a lot of support in the American public). It includes and rests upon a critical redefinition of what is known as “sex.” We usually think of this as simply male or female, on biological grounds (as opposed to a more cultural notion of gender). But the Equality Act would define “sex” as including “gender identity,” and defines “gender identity” thus: “gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms, or characteristics, regardless of the individual’s designated sex at birth.”Under the sought after definition, apparently "sex" as in Male or Female would essentially cease to exist -- "nature" as in what sexual parts you happen to have is not a factor. It is ALL about how you "identify". Needless to say, this offends homosexuals -- they are really attached to immutably being attracted to their own biological sex!
So, here we see a gay man defending biology.
