    There’s also the problem of some religious conservatives not realizing that straight people exist.

    According to conservative psychologists like Paul Cameron or James Dobson, gay sex is a huge “temptation” that people must learn to resist; they worry that it would be the downfall of society if more people chose to succumb to that temptation. They might blame that temptation on Satan directly, or on LGBT+ propagandists, or liberalism; but they very much seem to believe that anyone could choose to be gay.

    Sorry, no, that’s not how straight people work.

    If you experience gay sex as a strong temptation, you’re just not straight. That’s okay! Quite a lot of people are straight, and are just not interested in having gay sex. If all the people who are “tempted” to have gay sex went and did so, there would still be lots of straight people left having lots of straight sex.

    The odd part is that these conservative psychologists then teach this doctrine of “gay sex is a strong temptation for everyone” to an audience composed of mostly straight people.
