You've answered your won question. Homosexuality is an act of the will,a sin, a thing and not a state existential ontology....
Going back to basics, let's look up what the word homosexual means:
http://m-w.com
of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex
That's all it means. Nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't mean someone acts on it or is their sine-qua-non. It means they have sexual desires towards members of the same sex.
And this relates to "homosexual persons" and why I think it was used, but we aren't that far in the discussion yet. At least I'm not. I'm trying to get Johnny Catholic to stop using Protestant sources.
