    "I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way."

This would be a more apt example if it was phrased thus:

    "I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at sexual intercourse the same way."

Sex is sensual pleasure, intoxicants are sensual pleasure.

Who you have sex with, different genders, same gender, multiple people, yourself... it's all sensual pleasure.

What kind of alcohol you drink, beers, wines, liquors, mixes... it's all sensual pleasure.

So I say to the individual who can't give up sensual pleasure, not to criticize what you do yourself! If one speaks highly of themselves, while disparaging others, they are not to be trusted, should be forgotten, and recognized for the fool they are.

Rock Perry's comments also fall into that old trap of assuming it's all about sex.
