homosexuality is simply a mental condition and should be treated as such.

Can it be cured? my guess is that is some it can be, but in others it must simply be repressed much like the urge most men feel to cheat on their wives with young attractive women.

We are not animals, we are men. We have a CHOICE to act on our impulses or not, we are not slaves to every urge we have.

Bingo!

And the world is filled with faithful men who manage to maintain their fidelity, despite sexual desires pointing them in the direction of sin.

I doubt it’s the same to a homosexual...you still have a wife to fulfill those needs even if you are attracted to another woman.

"..As Upton explains, "the Sodomite is violent against nature because he denies relatedness to the Other; his erotic energy is turned inward." This is indeed the key point. Man cannot engage in mere animal sexuality without sinking beneath even the animals, who are innocent in their animality. ..."
