I agree with Mr. Lowell.

Homosexuality was never, is not, and will never be, pro-family or pro-life.  Celibacy is pro-family and pro-life, with the realization that celibacy until marriage preserves life, and marriage between one man and one woman helps to create human life.

However, because people are hell-bent on practicing abdominal, selfish idolatries with our sex organs to satisfy ourselves and not our partners, we engage in the most disgusting and vile acts of sexual perversion imaginable.

We need not legitimize homosexuality.  We need to show the perversion that homosexuality really is, and help homosexuals realize where that perversion will lead them, if not to hell, then certainly to disease and despair, for it certainly “is not gay.”

Ah, yes, “buggery”, a splendidly evocative word.

As to the change in policy, one sees more movement by China in the direction of the Western countries that are their business clients. You’d hardly want to offend an American or French homosexual with whom
you’re about to cut a deal. All of this doesn’t change the reality that the homosexual impulse is intrinsically disordered as it remains precisely that. Not even totalitarian regimes like China or soft “new class” dictatorships like the United States can make that any different.
