(This is not a reference to the difference between a noun and an adjective, for we uld equally have chosen the adjectival form of “homosexualy.

ADJECTIV FOR GAY

While beg somethg of an tellectual abstractn, the word “homosexualy” not one thg substantially, one phenomenon of human experience: same-genr eroticism. Th do we see the Church’s sense of “homosexualy” that this word pots to one thg (ad rem), even as this “one thg” n be distguished as actn at s end pot and as attractn at s source.

In a word, the Church’s philosophil sense of homosexualy is that is “disorred”—no matter whether we are speakg of s source or of s endpot—disorred, bee is opposed to the orrg of the human beg the image of God. Morally speakg, the Church ascrib uniformly negative value to homosexualy, which is wrongdog as regards activy, and temptatn as regards attractn. That is, the Church is always able to see the goodns of “the person” even as this person may be ught up homosexual thoughts, words, and actns.

Whenever the Church (the word) “digny” the ntext of homosexualy, she is posg somethg that her a person qua person, even as this person is unr the fluence of homosexualy.

SGLE WORD REQUT FOR AN ADJECTIVE TO REPLACE MY E OF THE WORD "GAY" TO SCRIBE [CLOSED]

If what has been wrten about the Church’s sense of “homosexualy” here strik the rear as stiff or narrowly nceived, is perhaps bee of the fluence of the word “gay” on the rear.

That is, whereas “homosexualy” refers to somethg which do not belong to the re of the person, “gay” is ed to pos somethg that do implite re human inty.

Here, is “gay” moro than “homosexualy” that n nfe, bee the ordary e of “gay” n nta multiple (unfound) referenc to matters that are relatnal, athetic, even ontic.

Moreover, no matter the meang that someone wish to give to “gay, ” this (alleged) meang nnot be allowed to obscure the basic sense that the word holds, namely same-genr eroticism.
