That being the case, do you have any opinion as to whether the recent John Travolta homosexual trysts scandals were actually some form of control from Clearwater for perceived rebellion (perhaps in the wake of the death of his mentally impaired son, who was supposedly "treated" by Scientology practitioners as he was dying) rather than based on some degree of truth?
Beyond that: would a "clear" actually engage in homosexual behavior? Did you hear any policy or theory of homosexuality in the organization?

Hubbard asserted that homosexuality was always associated with suppressive persons. Calling someone an SP (Suppressive person) is just about the worst term available in the entire scientology lexicon.
They are to be shunned, avoided, destroyed, etc.
That being said, the first person I personally knew who died of AIDS was a scientology staff member (this was before AIDS had even been identified as a disease).
It's also rumored that Hubbard's gate swung both ways...
Would Miscavige and company destroy Travolta to protect the church? In a heartbeat, with no more hesitation than you or I would have in crushing a cockroach.
Beyond that: would a "clear" actually engage in homosexual behavior?
Theoretically, no. In practice, achieving the state of clear does not change brain wiring or body chemistry. I don't have many connections in the church these days, so I don't personally know any queer clears...
