“If a person is gay a Sodomite and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him?” the pope said.

There. Fixed it.

So, what did he say in Spanish? "Maricon"? "Joto"? "Gay"? "Sodomito"? "Puto"? "Afeminado"? "Homosexual"?

Do all the words have exact equivalents in English?

Even more ambiguous is a term like "ex-gay". Does it mean a person who abstains from sodomy? Or does it mean a person who once felt, but no longer feels, attraction to people of the same sex?

It is unjust to judge a person on a single word, especially in translation.

And extra-specially if you're interested in justice.
