For instance, on the “gay” topic: if communal stability arises in part from subgroups that can implicitly trust there’s no sexual attraction within those subgroups, then homosexuality really throws a basic wrench into the system. The only context where you can stick a gay person and know there isn’t sexual attraction involved is with exactly one other gay person of the opposite sex.
The traditional solution is the Monastery or Abbey, paired with harsh repression inside of them. You may or may not be able to do it without the repression these days, but I don’t have any data on that cuz I’m straight as fuck.
Unironically the Catholics had a lot of stuff right, besides that whole Jesus thing. It turns out that holding together a common culture over more than a thousand years through great social upheavals selects for a solid set of social technologies. It’s a shame about the Jesus thing.
