Sexual orientation is a strong and exceptionally consistent predictor of social attitudes. I conclude that sexuality should become a core factor in social scientific theory and empirical analysis. Gender and race were historically marginal topics in sociology, but became core factors in the 1990s

Sexuality is still a marginal topic
