Nah, not quite. Your blackness is first and foremost exhibited in physical traits that you can't ignore or hide (without extreme measures). While some would argue "gayness" (in comparison to your "blackness") is not a choice, it is unique in that one could choose to be gay but not engage in "homosexual practices." I choose that wording because my previous graduate institution actually included in the morality clause that you could "be" homosexual but could not "practice homosexuality." The same way a person could be a non-practicing Catholic, I guess. My mind was blown when I heard that but that's another story.
So I see how BG might hypothetically equate "homosexual practice" with "religious practices." The way a man may say "I will have sex ONLY with my wife because it is pleasing to God," what if a man said "I have sex with men because it pleases my God?" If that were the case, I agree with Tea Time. America is choosy with religious tolerance. Religious freedoms are much more likely to be protected for a Christian or Catholic than a Satanist, even though they're all "equal" on paper.
TL;DR--Butt sex for Jesus prolly wouldn't fly.
