Okay, this clarifies. But you can’t, then, just bless your category A and tell them to enter into a homosexual relationship and that God will bless it.

If you do that then you ain’t following Thomas Aquinas or the Nichomachean Ethics. Show me where either of them says, “shoot, I’ve got this disorder and I didn’t choose it but, well, God blesses my disorder and when I act upon it, He won’t mind.”

The last is my downfall. I went to college in the 1990s. Enough said. It is a miracle I even had mentors who schooled me independently in classical Latin and ancient philosophy. :(
