What beside zeal and respect for holy scriptures might motivate their prejudice and disrespect towards individual people with whom they are not familiar? Domineering people who are emotionally immature as regards intimate and/or sexual relationships may well be deeply troubled by people: 1. Whose attitudes, desires, and behaviors do not conform appropriately to those of either "domineering males" or "subservient females". Non-conformity is not tolerable. Everyone should play their assigned standardized role. 2. Who confront "outsiders" with ambiguity and doubt as to who in their intimate relationships are "dominant" and who are "subservient". Ambiguity and doubt are not tolerable. Absolute truths must be identified, defined and defended. 3. Who may have switched roles as regards which sex should play the "subservient" role and which the "dominant" role. Males must play "dominant" roles and females must play "subservient" roles. All must be faithful. Males who fail to play "dominant" roles are traitors. They must be rejected. Males who play "subservient" roles are abominable. They should be punished. Females who fail to play "subservient" roles are unfaithful and/or traitors. Punish them. Females who play "dominant" roles are heretical, traitorous, presumptuous, and despicable. They must be rejected. When people seek to dominate homosexuals and lesbians, consideration should be given to the above possible motivations --- as well as to the ostensible motives which the domineering people claim to be their true motives. Are their claims and patterns of behavior coherent? Do they promote both personal and communal integrity and health through what they say and do? Are their own motives beyond suspicion and reproach?
