Eugene Volokh has this post at the Volokh Conspiracy discussing efforts to censor or fire Perdue Professor Bert Chapman for his post titled, An Economic Case Against Homosexuality, which points out the economic costs of homosexuality and promiscuous heterosexuality. Chapman’s post begins:
As a Christian, I agree with the biblical condemnation of the homosexual lifestyle. However, we are living in a nation and world that increasingly rejects biblical norms. To defend traditional sexual morality against the encroaching threat of homosexuality and other aberrant forms of sexual expression, we need to be able to do more than cite Bible verses. Fortunately, there are plenty of economic reasons for being against this lifestyle and I think as conservatives we need to be able to articulate why our nation cannot afford the extremely high financial costs of this lifestyle at a time when we are confronting dangerously high budget deficits, national debt, and personal debt.
The level of vitriol directed against Prof. Chapman can be sampled in the comments that follow his post.
