Reduced rings and lattice-ordered groups are examples of groups with Boolean orthogonalities. In this note we show that any group with a Boolean orthogonality satisfying a finiteness condition introduced by Stewart is isomorphic with a group of homeomorphisms of a topological space, in which two homeomorphisms are orthogonal if and only if they have disjoint supports.
