In a footnote to my most recent post, the homily in which I talked about what the Church teaches on same-sex attraction, I mentioned that I was not comfortable using the term “gay” in this context. I did so in the homily only because people I was quoting used it; and one of them–Steve Gershom–explained that he wasn’t that comfortable with the term, either, although he uses it.Yesterday I had a very helpful e-mail from a bishop friend that pointed me to a post on the First Things Blog by a writer with SSA who does not want to call himself “gay”.
