Many consider it bad to create a regulatory environment that leads to the creation of lists where real world identities are tied to specific sexual preferences.

Many consider it bad to create a regulatory environment that leads to the creation of lists where real world identities are tied to specific sexual preferences. This is because in the contemporary western world, sexual preferences are considered intimate and highly personal. Creating such a data basis enables future discrimination. It doesn't mandate it, just enables it. There's a famous (and arguably untimely crass) example of such data gathering in the German past. It's different in scope and consequence (smaller scope, bigger consequences), but maybe still interesting. Sadly there's no English Wikipedia article about it: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fde.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FRosa_Liste https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&u=https%3... (At least that's the memory of German school history classes I immediately recalled while reading the linked article.)
