I'm a bit confused, Mavdog. How has Keyes discriminated against homosexuals? What makes you think that he hates homosexuals? Those are two assumptions I don't think you're entitled to make based upon his comments.

Keyes places homosexuals in a big catchall basket rather than as the multicultural group they are. There are the same if not more heterosexuals who could be termed "hedonist" for their conduct as people. To place a whole group in the same negative light is in this case discrimination as they may or may not be actually guilty of the charge.

It's not discrimination because he's not DOING anything to homosexuals. Discrimination involves taking adverse action.
Mavdog, homosexuals are the ones defining themselves by their sexual attractions. They place themselves in a "big catchall basket" when they do that.

Keyes labels homosexuals as "hedonist" for the sole fact that they are sexually attracted to the same sex. That in itself doesn't denote an individual is "hedonist", as the pursuit of pleasure isn't necessarily their preoccupation in life. This is a negative word that connotes contempt and hence hate.

Wrong. Keyes is saying that sexual relationships are for two purposes: procreation and pleasure. If you can't procreate, well, you do the math...
