Oh, I'll see your identity politics and raise you hypersexuality. There are a few species which involve sexual intercourse in practically every societal function, and H. sapiens is one. From establishing dominance to seeking rent, people work the twerk to go along and get along. Sometimes people get so fixated and indoctrinated (most people, most of the time TBQH) that the biological fact of human hypersexuality has no part in their grasp of themselves and society.
People become acculturated to believe all sorts of things about themselves, sex, and the intersection between them. Some people call themselves gay and do everything in their power to prove it. Some people claim that homosexual acts are sins of the devil and seek to behead them or throw them off roofs. Some people convince their own little children to voluntarily sexually mutilate themselves so they can become sex toys for depraved pedophiles.
People are pretty easily deranged when instead of nominal education they're indoctrinated from birth to serve rentiers. Basically normal people are able to adopt whatever cultural norms are extant in the society they live in, and little is so flexible or basic to human societies as sexuality.
This is what I mean when I say gender is a social construct. Society is deeply affected by propaganda effected by rentiers for their own benefit, and rentiers have devised a cultural milieu to prevent people from being rational and able to strongly execute actions that benefit themselves and their communities in favor of serving the interests of rentiers. This includes being indoctrinated to call themselves gay.
There are also particular twists and turns of individual genetic makeup that really do result in hermaphroditism, or other such maladaptations. Very little of this actually eventuates, though. Less than one in a million if I had to hazard a guess. Such maladaptive mutations are so strongly subject to evolutionary forces that they literally cannot be passed to offspring - or at least couldn't prior to technology lending a hand.
To illustrate the difference between hypersexuality and the unique human cultural adaptibility that has been coopted by rentiers to advantage themselves, there aren't 'gay' bonobos or dolphins. There are just hypersexual bonobos and dolphins, that are still able to successfully form pair bonds and naturally breed - except for maladaptive mutations that quickly remove themselves from the genepool.
Yes. Both are affects of society, rather than some kind of objective morality. Each of us imbibes our culture and ferments it in the bowels of our subconscious. Clever manipulators seek to create through that process factions that will pay them rent for their power. Others seek to tap or devour those streams of income, and dies are cast, lives are lost, hearts are broken, and families spawn the next generation of players, ready to sip or guzzle the ideals and mores of the communities they're born into, per their natures.
We are availed of examples of people that do both, such as Roy Cohn, or Jeffrey Dahmer. Were those traits structural components of people that were built in at birth, such contradictions couldn't exist. Since they do, we see that they are cultural constructs.

I see, so being gay and wanting to kill gay people are two sides of the same coin?
