The ensuing text is a charming combination of moral panic (porn! lesbians!) and veiled homophobia (the story came out during the Constance McMillen discrimination lawsuit, which he conveniently labels as &ldquo;noise&rdquo;). And he closes the piece by asking the heteronormative question that one should expect from such characters: &ldquo;<strong>I wish Constance McMillen and her girlfriend all the best. But I have to  wonder: Are there so many girl-girl couples out there because that&rsquo;s  truly who they are &#8211; or because the guys are such
