Never said otherwise, regardless of what some have read into a post.

Then why are you trying to legitimize homosexuality by talking about "consensual" relationships?

The medical and mental health field is supposed to be about getting people to END deviant and abnormal behavior. But you seem to say that it's okay because the person desires to do it, the problem is that their desire is a major symptom of a mental illness.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

Consensual: existing or made by mutual consent

That a given relationship or activity is consensual says nothing at all about whether it is right or wrong, only about whether the parties involved are engaged in it voluntarily.

People very frequently engage in wrong behavior consensually. For instance, if you and I agree to hold up the liquor store, our doing so is consensual between the two of us. It is not generally, of course, consensual on the part of the liquor store owner.

All I asked, originally, is what actions should be taken to enforce our moral opinions of homosexuality against those who voluntarily (perhaps you prefer that term) engage in it. Above the legal age of consent, of course.
