How to use homosexual in a sentence?

  1. Ty Herndon:

    I was 10, sitting in church and horrified that I might be a homosexual. Whatever that word meant, I knew that I probably was one.

  2. The Pope:

    Homosexual people have a right to be in a family. They're children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or be made miserable over it, what we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered.

  3. Justice Antonin Scalia:

    The death penalty? Give me a break. It's easy. Abortion? Absolutely easy. Nobody ever thought the Constitution prevented restrictions on abortion. Homosexual sodomy? Come on. For 200 years, it was criminal in every state.

  4. John Boswell:

    The New Testament takes no demonstrable position on homosexuality. To suggest that Paul's references to excesses of sexual indulgence involving homosexual behavior are indicative of a general position in opposition to same-sex eroticism is as unfounded as arguing that his condemnation of drunkenness implies opposition to the drinking of wine.

  5. Pope Francis:

    I have accompanied people with homosexual tendencies and also with homosexual practices, people must be accompanied, as Jesus accompanied.
