It’s not for no reason that pro-abortionists want to be called pro-choice, and to describe in utero children as “products of conception”.
Now, I think we should be interested in controlling the debates we Catholics are required to engage in. Homosexualism is one of those.
For how many centuries have homosexuals been described derisively in terms such as faggot, poofter, nancy boy….. ? Until recent decades when the homosexual lobby devised the term “gay” to describe themselves.
As pro-choice suggests that the merchants of death are really just lovely people who care passionately about freedom and justice, “gay” projects a lifestyle that is all about fun, frolic, happiness, cheerfulness, light-heartedness…..
So, whenever we use the term “gay” to mean homosexual, we’re promoting the homosexual cause.
