• Of heteronormative plumbing and men

In the paper, which is very brief but contains citations from The New England Journal of Medicine and The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, [Surgeon General nominee Dr. James W. Holsinger] argues that the male and female sex are “indeed complementary.” Nothing terribly earth shattering there. He also goes into great detail about the increased incidences of disease and trauma among those whose sexual behavior involves the gastrointestinal tract. The report was given to a committee studying whether to change the church’s position that homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. The UMC retained its position.

Why do we no longer examine homosexual behavior and its effects scientifically?
