ABSTRACT

Korean society has recently been observing distinct behavioral changes of sexual minority groups. This paper analyzes the behavioral changes of the sexual minority using game theory, and interprets them from the traditional viewpoint of Christian ethics on sexual orientation. A hypothetical game model is developed and analyzed. The concept of critical rate for accepting the sexual orientations of the minority is suggested and discussed regarding the society’s propensity to avoid social conflicts. The critical rate provides a decision making criterion for the intelligent sexual minority to alter their group behaviors. Since a society with greater freedom of expression has also a smaller value of critical rate, it could be important to keep the society’s acceptance rate of the minority’s sexual orientations below the critical rate. In this light, an honesty practice is asserted for casual conversations that one should express plainly one’s belief in traditional Christian ethics on sexual orientation. Continual and extended practices of this honesty conceive hope for a society where the biblical sexual ethics are invariantly respected without harming the freedom of expression for sexual minority.
