This too is very good, Daniel Mattson on 'Gay identity'.

[Ed. note: I don't want to screw it up with my personal commentary.]

In my last essay at First Things, I echoed the words of Pope Benedict writing about the pastoral care of the homosexual person by saying, “only what is true can ultimately be pastoral.”  Rev.
