text: Actually, John, I recently posted that it would be ideal if people with same-sex attraction were not afraid to speak about it.  That way those who are fighting it could share with others who have that attraction and help them overcome the desire to engage in its associated sinful acts.
  
  But, yes, keep the acts in the closet.  That's pretty much what the Church says.  People with same-sex attraction do have all of the rights that everyone else has; what they don't have the right to do is publicize their sex acts (which is what the labels "homosexual," "Gay," et al, do) as acceptable conduct.  
  
  The various names that homosexuals adopt as labels mean that they engage in and/or believe it is ok to engage in same-sex acts.  OTH, "SSA" means that they are attracted to the same sex, but it does not imply any interest one way or the other of their opinion on same-sex acts.  Ironically, the people who remain in the closet and are not allowed to speak are those with SSA who want to fight it.
