I agree with Donohue. I also think it important that the term "orientation" not appear. It has a pseudo-scientific connotation." Pseudo"--because it has no scientific basis beyond unsubstantiated hypotheses, but orientation conveys the notion of a fixed polarity. If sex has any such polarity it is toward reproduction. If, however, men are free beings, even this cannot be the same as what drives other animals, nor in man can it have a spiritual basis, becaused it rests upon a lie, which is that there are no distinctions of sex.
