I looked up homophile (Google doesn’t define it), & it says homosexual, or concerned with homosexual rights. So, what in heck do these homosexuals mean by using that word?

Probably an intentional semantic desensitization to the “-phile” suffix in a sexual context.

Semantic desensitization? Explain.
Looking up homophile, & apparently, it disappeared along with gay liberation. I guess they wanted a word that described them accurately. Love? Hah!

If one becomes accustomed to certain ways of thinking via language, for instance “homophile,” then other words using the same suffix in a sexual context begin to sound less alien and alarming. For instance, pedophile.

Anyone using the term “gay” to describe his same-sex attraction is subscribing to the political, cultural meaning. I don’t trust such a snake of a person, no matter how biblically “correct” he is.

"They want to be out and proud.

Herein lies the problem. You cannot be proud of a disorder.

This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written: Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

No, pedophile is alarming to the extreme.
That’s what you mean by septiguit (?).
