Perry, it's great that you took such time to explain everything.

Just one thing: adultery is usually defined at sexual intercourse with someone other than one's wedded spouse. Since gay people were not able to marry in the US in the 1980s (and are still explicitly banned from doing so in the constitutions of 38 states), any male-to-male sex would constitute adultery. Therefore, I think that it's reasonable to say that Reagan's statement was grounded on homophobic views.

A person who says that homosexaulity is okay, provided that homosexauls don't have sex (i.e. there should be no outward manifestations of homosexuality), cannot reasonably be said to be tolerant of gays.

In my opinion, you are overly and inexplicably defensive of Reagan.
