I absolutely agree with ace (oddly enough) that this paper is benign. It makes no claim towards the immorality of Homosexuality, and coming from someone so openly Christian, is is very professionally written.
The conclusion of the paper is only that male and female anatomy appear to be complementary organisms when viewed under the condition he viewed them under. Further still, he concluded that anal sex is more likely to cause physiological damage than vaginal sex, and this is obvious.
His paper sounds like any Average Joe Scientist could write, and it was quite interesting. So it's unfair to say that this brands him homophobic.
That said, I think his vocal religious beliefs make him a poor choice for Surgeon General. Not because he wrote this paper, but because he is so vocally against Homosexuality from a theological standpoint.
