In summary - homosexuality isn't a species of human being, its a deviant behavior practiced by a small group of human beings.

The day we began identifying people as homo and heterosexuals (in an attempt to explain & isolate the behavior) we put the two on the road to equivalence.

Dear skeeter,

I think you've succinctly gotten at a large part of what the author is trying to say.

I think, thought, the author would replace "deviant" with "sinful," and "small group of human beings" with "some human beings."

Iirc (I did not reread the article just now) the author mentioned that sodomy is the activity that deviates from the clear procreative intentionality of the male and female bodies. One outcome of emphasizing "homosexual" sodomy was to give the impression that sodomy with an opposite-sex object is not a perversion.

"homosexuality isn't a species of human being, its a deviant behavior practiced by a small group of human beings."

Yes, true --- except I think the author goes further than that.

He points out that according to traditional Christian morality, sodomy with anyone (man, woman, married, unmarried) and for any reason (cold-hearted lust, disordered warm romantic affection, method of avoiding pregnancy, servile pederasty) was condemned as an objectively sinful act.

But now, because of this focus on sexual "orientation," we tend to focus not on the act but on the personal feelings. This tends to valorize mere heterosexuality per se, and thus excuse heterosexual sodomy, marital hetero porn (e.g. spouses watching porn together as an excitant), marital mutual masturbation, and various other forms of hetero sterile buggery.
