    I think they’d be more likely to say homosexuality is illogical and repress it. Could make an interesting plot point.

    Versus “suppressing our emotions - the thing we do constantly which essentially defines our species - is illogical”. I really don’t see that making sense in universe.

      The converse is that making a specific distinction based on sexuality like that is also illogical in what is supposedly the enlightened 24th century Federation.

      They’re not the ancients of the 21st century, who would be so concerned with such primitive things.

        But I’m pretty sure Vulcans could get into a bit of hardcore repression of sexuality, only having sex for procreation kind of thing. Very in keeping with their characterisation!
