I’m not sure I understood where you are coming from in your approach

Here it is then. We completely agree on the issue, so there is no discussion. What I am saying is that whoever controls the language, controls the debate. When you use the word-euphemism "gay" instead of naming the activity by its proper name, you have in my view lost the debate right at the start if only because who would be against "gaiety"? The same goes for using "choice" for abortion. I believe this is a major issue in this culture war.

Ah! Yes, precisely. I don’t use the term gay - it’s all homosexuality. Funny how the entire meme of sex-selective abortion came up, it went away just as quickly.
