That's a good argument, but I would throw in one caveat. Morality is a highly personal idea. What I might consider immoral, you might consider to be perfectly acceptable. It all depends on myriad factors, like upbringing, religious inculcation, etc. So it is possible for someone like Pace to have the personal opinion that homosexuality is immoral, without there being some larger imperative that he explain why it is so. On the question of how that morality is defined, for the religious person, it could be as simple as, "because the Bible proscribes against it." That may not wash with everyone, but it really doesn't have to Perhaps some people use the world "immoral" when they really mean "distasteful" - I think a lot of heterosexuals, especially men, find the idea of homosexual sex to be... well gross, and so they lump it in with immorality. And I think many religious people classity gay sex as immoral because in their view, it lures healthy males away from the procreative life. And then there are the concerns that adult gay men tend to be attracted to very young, post-pubescent types, bringing them "into the lifestyle" in a way that many people consider to be immoral. (Ditto with gay rights groups that seek to organize ve teens who may have an inclination that they are gay...) und, impressionable That's the best I can do in answering the columnist's challenge. As for Pace, I think he's entitled to his opinion, and his statement regretting that he aired his personal views should suffice

I think a lot of homosexuals

today's Joy Reid story is really reminding me of how common anti-gay/ homophobic/ etc views were among mainstream liberals a very, very short time ago
Can't help but wonder why JoyAnnReid can't just say "hey, I said a lot of ignorant s--- on here a number of years ago and it sucked. Sorry about that."
Fwiw, I do encourage @JoyAnnReid to reach out and engage with the LGBTOQ community and to meet with trans folk in particular. I hope she'll use this situation as an opportunity to expand her understanding and empathy. But, damn y'all, give people room to grow. We ALL need it.
