I must retract what I previously wrote. Please allow me to restate my position. Thank you.

While all sin is disordered, homosexual activity is INTRINSICALLY disordered, because while heterosexual activity is disordered outside of marriage, homosexual activity is disordered by its very nature.

(I still think it is a mistake leading to confusion to lump them together.)

Your statements are supported by Scripture and Tradition.

Yes, that is exactly the teaching of the Church. Thanks for stating it so clearly.

I think you're right in making the distinctionthat non-male/female sex is intrinsically disordered. As well, ejaculating up somebdy's butt or down their throat is intrinsically disordered, even if that someone is your lawfully married wife.

I add that because, since straight couples are still far more numerous than "gay" ones, I am fairly sure that there's more straight sodomy than gay sodomy. Hate to bring it up, it's so repellent; but I wouldn't want to mislead heterosexuals into thinking that anything they wanna do with their spouse is, by the mere fact that they are "Mr. and Mrs.", rightly ordered.

Exactly. Also, heterosexual adultery(as sinful as that is) can possibly and many times has resulted in the conception of a child. Homosexual activity by definition can NEVER do so.
