�� • +~ (The following editorial appeared in the June 27, 1974 issue of The Gatholic Standard
arid Time�s�; Philadelphia archdiocesan newspaper.) ��.�3 y
Recent attempts in this city and in New York to bar discrimination against homo-
sexuals in housing and in hiring are, in the context of the times , understandable, but also
are, in the context of society's needs , unfortunate.
Civil law has at least a twofold function: to protect citizens from the depredations
of criminals and to educate citizens by codifying society's values. By fulfilling these
functions , it would seem, civil law fosters the common good.
Attempts by homosexuals to alter civil law are understandable, because the growing
permissiveness of the times and the emphasis on individual fulfillment, even at the cost
of the common good, seem to provide hope of success to those who wish to relax legal
prohibitions.
Such attempts are unfortunate, however, because an alteration of law in these
matters would seem to contradici bo�h functior�s c� ci�i? �a�N C��SCC:�`e� a�ove.
First, the possibility of professed homosexuals obtaining sensitive posts in
education or in the police would seem to undermine the common good for two reasons:
society's codification of family values would seem to be undermined if public approval
were given to the profession of a deviant life style, and the possibility of official
seduction of impressionable individuals would seem to be real if the employment of overt
homosexuals in posts of educational or law enforcement responsibility were required.
Second, the canonization rather than the condemnation of homosexual activity is
1 cont rary to the common good because it places the stamp of public approval upon action
� which--in both the short and long term--can weaken society,
In the short term, approval of homosexual activity by prohibition of discrimination
against those who practice it gives explicit public approval to extra-marital sexual activity--
activity which the law need not always explicitly forbid, because such laws would be
difficult to enforce; but activity which the law should never explicitly approve, because
laws should never codify approval of activities which directly undermine the values of
sexual responsibility and family stability upon which society is based.
In the Iong term, approval of homo5exual activi�y by pr�hibition of discrir?�:ir��ti�r.
against those who practice it would indeed undermine the values of sexual responsibility and
family stability. If society declares that sexual activity without any reference to pro-
creative possibility is legitimate, then cociety is indeed divorcing itself from its own
future--and the common good is undermined, If society declares that extra-marital sexual
activity is in no way to be discouraged , then society is indeed minimizing the value of the
family system upon which it is based--and the common good is undermined,
While we have considered the legal aspects of homosexuality, we have not yet
considered all of its moral aspects . While �uch moral considerations ma� not always be
rele��ant to the formulation of public law, they ought to be relevant to the formation of
pr" � conscience.
�d Scripture in both the Old Testament and New Testament indicates the
of homosexual activity--and indeed the very word "sodomy" is derived from the
+y which did not escape divine retribution for the immorality which characterized
it� l�ife' style. ,
, ,
The Church has always taught that overt homosexual activity is obj ectively wrong.
Not only is it a use of the sexual faculty outside of marriage, but it is a use of the sexual
faculty in a manner completely divorced from that faculty's procreative function. Thus ,
homosexual activity has traditionally been described as not only immoral but also unnatural.
Such a condemnation of homosexual activity does not mean, however, that ridicule and
mockery of those guilty of such activity are in any way justifiable. To be compassionate
toward those who suffer from an affliction for which they are not responsible or toward
those who are contrite for actions they sincerely seek to avoid, however, must never be
interpreted as equivalent to condoning such activity.
Perhaps it is too judgmental to say, "Hate the sin but love the sinner." However,
whether homosexual acts be sins or symptoms of sickness , their existence in and tolerance
by society are unheait;�y and ue�r�me:�tal to the ^,^vmmnt7 �c�{;(�.
It is the responsibility of society to have concern for all of its citizens; not only
to help the afflicted but also to protect others from the same affliction. Society is not
lacking in compassion and is not guilty of injustice if it does not condone a life style
which would destroy it and if it does not permit those who advocate such a life style
from occupying those positions of responsibility which would appear to give legitimacy to a life
style society cannot condone.
The refusal of public authority to permit professed homosexuals to occupy positions
of public responsibility in the sensitive areas of education and law enforcement represents
not a denial of rights to a minority but a dedication to the public welfare. Society cannot
afford to legitimatize a life style which would destroy it.
A final word might be said regarding the adjective appropriated by homosexual
activist, The word "gay" used to denote those who were happy, those who were joyous ,
or situations which were delightful. Now, the word connotes unnatural activity and a
deviant community. The opposite of the word "gay" is "sad"--and we refuse to believe
that the love which has produced the stable families which are the foundation to all society
is " sad" . Indeed, we find it sad that the word "gay" has been wrenched out of a context of
lighthearted joy te be att3C:12� arbitrar;ly tc a c�n*�xt either af heavy-hearted guilt or of
joyless militancy. Language has already been impoverished by the misapplication of a
once beautiful word; would it not be tragic if society too were impoverished by the
misguided disorientation of a once b�autiful world?

IT TAKES, AND MUST BE ERADICATED, WHEN AND WHEREVER POSSIBLE,
AS YOU CONSIDER THIS AN�NDMENT TO PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE
OF AFFECTIONAL OR SEXUAL PREFERE�dCE, I BELIEVE YOU ���ILL FIND IT A
CHALLENGE FOR CNANGE ,THAT IS HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT IN THE STRUGGLE F0�
EQUAL RIGHTS, THE VAST MAJORITY OF SOCIETY NEEDS A GROWING AWARENESS
AND CONCERN FOR THE WASTE OF HUMAN RESOURCES. OUR CONCEPTS AND APPROACHE�
IN THE PAST TO TNE PROBLEMS OF A HOMOSEXUAL PERSON HAVE BEEN WRONG,
WE MUST COME TO THAT REALIZATION ,
THE FUTURE OF OUR SOCIETY DEPENDS ON OUR CAPABILITY TO DEAL WITH THE
CHALLENGE OF ACHIEVING EQUALITY FOR ALL PERSONS, THEREFORE, THE HUMAN
RIGHTS DEPARTMENT STRONGLY RECOMMENDS TNE ADOPTION OF THIS ORDINANCE.
IT WILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO BE USED IN HELPING TO ELIMINATE
DISCRIMIi�ATION AGAINST HOMOSEXUALS. IF WE ARE�AS A CITY COMMITTED TO
DEALING WITH EACH A�D EVERY CITIZEN "STRICTLY IN ACCORD WITH THEIR
IPdDIVIDUAL MERITS AS HUMAN BEINGS," . , , , AND OUR HUMAiV RIGHTS
ORDINANCE SAYS WE ARE SO COMMITTED . , , , THEN THIS AMENDMENT IS A
NECESSITY, THANK YOU ,

When our society stops worrying about gay }�sople beeause of the misinforma-

Dear Council Members :
I regret that I cannot appear in person on Tuesday before
the St. Paul City Council, but I do want to express mq
whole-hearted support for the proposed St . Paul gay rights
ordinance. I am pleased that Minneapolis has already
approved legislation of this type and I hope that our
sister city will now follow suit.
As a participant for many years in the struggle for black
rights, I firmly believe that none of us will be truly free
until all of us are free. Gay people today are fighting
for the same kind of fundamental human rights that minority
people have long sought -- the right to hold a �ob , to have
a decent place to live, and to be treated equally under the
law. The proposed St . Paul ordinance does nothing more
than guarantee those rights.
As President of the Minneapolis Board of Education, I am
particularly disturbed by those who insist that an ordinance
guaranteeing to gay people the right to hold �obs as school
teachers represents a threat to our school children. Yet
there is absolutely no evidence that gay teachers use their
positions to proselytize young people for their particular
life style. Gay people -- like most human beings -- are
capable of separating their private lives from their public
behavior. Any overt improprieties should , of course, be .
grounds for dismissal. But individuals should not be
deprived of the right to earn a living at their chosen pro-
fession because of what they may do in the privacy of their
own homes .
I congratulate the St. Paul City Council for the support it
has already demonstrated for basic human rights. I am con-
fident that the Council will continue to demonstrate that
support by passing the ordinance it now has before it.
