    As long as we can put an upper bound on gayness (or more specifically on each totally ordered subset of people under the is-gayer-than relation) this follows from Zorn’s lemma.

    It’s also true by virtue of the fact that the set of all people who will have ever lived is finite, but “the existence of a maximal element in a poset” just screams Zorn’s lemma.

      I think it’s better to avoid the axiom of choice in discussions about sexuality, as it seems to upset the conservatives.
