UP Ralph McInerny Unsavory topics are forced upon anyone who wishes to discuss the signs of the times. Theoretical and practical confusion about the nature of human sexuality are hallmarks of our age. The genitals have come to be regarded merely as instruments of pleasure, and since men, women, sheep or the Internet can occasion it, all sexual activity is homogenized. This is a deeper meaning of homosexuality.
All sexual activity is terminal hedonism.
Homosexuality in the usual sense is an inevitable consequence of this theoretically and practically. No wonder homosexuals feel singled out and picked upon. But theirs is a particularly egregious instance of the prostitution of sexuality. There is nothing benign about it. It is not merely an alternate lifestyle with no deleterious consequences for society and homosexuals themselves.
