| Recent editor of two books on homosexuality, Christopher Wolfe believes the most important issue facing homosexuality as it concerns American public life to be not AIDS but rather how homosexuality impacts traditional understandings of marriage, family, and sex. Wolfe points out the many social problems that may be linked to the breakdown of the family structure. This structure is undermined, however, not only by homosexual ideas of sex, but also by those of heterosexuals, particularly as manifested in the growing acceptability of divorce. While Wolfe believes there exist innate norms which regulate sex morally, he acknowledges the difficulty of identifying and implementing such norms. |
