Questions for conservatives

Sir, Your leader ,4 September, raises two important issues that evangelicals have to address.

Firstly, as you say, ‘that separating human sexuality into a gay or straight binar y taxonomy is almost certainly far too simplistic’. It may be far too simplistic but the fact is that many people are straight, many are gay, and we should acknowledge that.

However, I believe you are right to point out that the vast majority are somewhere on the spectrum. And if that is true, then conser vatives who tr y to dismiss those on that spectrum are being disingenuous. Perhaps it is time for all conser vative evangelicals to acknowledge that most people are all somewhere on that spectrum (including themselves) and end this mood of intolerance.

It is not just Stonewall who are signed up to what you call a binar y taxonomy.
