Sounds to me along the same guidelines as the theory that only black families should be able to adopt black children. Your orientation determines your behaviour according to both doctrines and this behaviour is learnt.

Not clear to me why this should be; you are born black or homosexual (or both) and your behaviour should be an expression of your own personality, not that of the community that wishes to claim or disclaim you.

They've actually done something similar to that in Canada, except with native peoples. A white couple can't, or it's very difficult for a white couple to adopt a native or part native child. There's a case before the courts right now about a half native child whose lived with her foster parents for years since she was a small child but now because "it could damage the childs self identity" a native band wants to take custody of the child. The stupid thing is it'll probably be more damaging to remove the child from the only home and parents she's known so she can be "closer to her culture" (another misguided lefist policy)
