Our oldest daughter is gay

Don't commit liberal-speak! She is a human being, not a "gay" (that's an adjective). She happens to also be a human who commits a habitual mortal sin - oral sodomy. But that doesn't not make her anything but human.

There is no such thing as gay, straight, homosexual, or heterosexual. There are humans who are inclined to various temptations (kleptomania, nymphomania, for example), and there are humans who commit sins by giving in to those temptations.

In my sentence "Our daughter is gay", I used gay as an adjective, a predicative adjective to be exact. I did not say "is a gay", a noun, but instead "is gay" a predicative adjective. You might want to brush up on how to spot an adjective.

There is no such thing as gay, straight, homosexual, or heterosexual. There are humans who are inclined to various temptations (kleptomania, nymphomania, for example), and there are humans who commit sins by giving in to those temptations.

Since the late seventeenth century (200 years before the words homosexual and heterosexual were coined) the word gay has been used as meaning dissolute or licentious with no connotation as to being straight, homosexual, male or female. Just lacking moral restraint and indulging in sexual vices. The only thing the sodomites did was change gay from an adjective to a noun. It already was a word used for unrestrained immoral sexual activity.

And if there is no such thing as gay, straight, homosexual, or heterosexual, please explain your use of the word homosexual in your post #76. Yes, the post just before you decided to blast me for using a word that designates a sexual preference you yourself do the same thing. Is this a case of motes and beams or is it do as I say not as I do?
