Etymology is important to most people -- as is the meaning -- you need to learn that

So, if you change your meanings every time, do you then follow James 2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; -- and support gays?

>>CB: you should stay with the group Matthew 18:20 -- we Catholics follow Christ to pray as a community, not stay alone as an individual cynic believing in respecting gays etc....<<

Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

I’ll not respond to the spurious gay comment.

Statements like that indicate that there is a total lack of understanding of this discussion. How can I illustrate that the meaning of the word gay today is not what the meaning of the word gay back then was? Or do you really think it’s the same?
