Basically it boils down to this: because you agree with one part of our agenda, you must agree with all of it. It's especially prevalent in the gay community, where it's assumed that if you're gay, you're also a card-carrying leftist (I learned this more through talking with a gay libertarian who also happened to be a Huckabee supporter back before being a Huckabee supporter was "cool" , no, I'm not making this up). Conservatives have their own version too, but its more "well, if you believe x, y, and z, you're a conservative, but if you believe x and y, but not z you're an xy conservative and if you believe..." Well, you get the idea. Finally, it also strikes me as leftist reactionism. Conservatives/Christians/Republicans believe X, so X must be wrong, so I will take position -X. That being said, it's a really funny thing, when it comes to radical Islam, the people who have the most to loose (social liberals) are the people most likely to give in, while the people who have the least to loose (social conservatives) are the ones who will generally fight tooth and nail.

Middle Eastern governments and the Muslim faith punish homosexual men quite viciously. However, buggering young boys is a cultural tradition and happens all the time, partly because young men are restricted in their ability to interact with young women. So let's not get the two very different things confused. Homosexual men are considered criminal deviants. Heterosexual men who also bugger either men or boys are just enjoying the fruits of their society and culture. I must add a gentle correction here.
