Rhys’ suggestion depends on a person accepting that sexuality is a preference, as opposed to something immutable. Most people don’t, because it just doesn’t make sense. Why would a gay man in Saudi Arabia, say, continue being gay if he could simply become straight? Does Rhys honestly think he’s the first person in human history big-brained enough to figure this out?Rhys's argument that some preferences are immoral because people might prefer such immoralities as pedophilia and animal torture is fallacious. It is pedophilia itself that is immoral, not the holding of such preference per se. In other words, Rhys tries to draw from the conclusion "some preferences are immoral" from the premises "preferring the immoral is a preference, and it is immoral". But this is a self-referential language game, and cannot be extended to genital preference, as neither the penis nor the vagina is problematic (or suberogatory) in itself.
He does, doesn’t he?
