Rather than refer to someone as \"a homosexual,\" I've taken care always to make \"gay\" or \"homosexual\" the adjective, and never the noun, in a longer phrase, such as \"gay Christian\" or \"homosexual person.\" In this way, I hope to send a subtle linguistic signal that being gay isn't the most important thing about my or any other gay person's identity. I am a Christian before I am anything else. My homosexuality is a part of my makeup, a facet of my personality. One day, I believe, whether in this life or in the resurrection, it will fade away. But my identity as a Christian - someone incorporated into Christ's body by his Spirit - will remain.”",
