It's individual acts versus a social phenomenon, and the latter is definitely caused by the social-environment/mileau that is constructed through predominant discourses. um Josh, if you read the post again you’ll see that it’s not the acts themselves we are claiming that the leaders of America’s anti-gay industry are directly responsible for, rather it’s the SURGE in such acts.
