My point is that homosexuality per se is immoral, just as adultery per se, or pedophilia per se are immoral. These are acts, these are sexual lifestyles that in themselves are immoral. Part of the reason that Tom Chad can't understand the thrust of my statement here is because he subtly recast the issue in civil rights terms. This twist ignores the fact that a homosexual act, a homosexual behavior, is in a different category than skin color or an ethnic heritage or a religious loyalty. This is part of the moral confusion that I'm talking about.
People are incapable of making that distinction.
I'm talking about homosexuals as a group of people in that they are all characterized by a certain action, an action which per se is immoral. I say this in the same way that I would say that all adulterers are immoral, even though they may be charitable and just and gracious in other areas of their lives. They are patently immoral because of the behavior that they exemplify is immoral behavior. Anyone who participates in immoral behavior is by definition an immoral person. It doesn't mean that they are utterly immoral or that they are incapable of producing anything of moral worthy, it merely means that in this circumstance, under these conditions they are immoral people because they are doing immoral acts.
