The direction taken here is to refrain from suggesting that people engaging in homosexual acts should be physically attacked (as was implied in the past under some circumstances) and also the emphasis on defining the behavior as homosexual, not the person.
The Mormon church was suggesting that homosexuals caught in flagrante delicto should be physically attacked?
Cool! That’s really medieval old school ...
They can “emphasize” it any way they want, but the behavior is homosexual and an individual participating in homosexual acts is at least a homosexual—but could quite as well possibly fall into a number of other queerly diverse classifications; e.g. gathers/sniffs navel lint.
