What the institutional Church does to stop violence against LGBT folks will be much attenuated as long as the "intrinsically disordered" label and accompanying attitude are not institutionally rejected.

Equally important, however, is for the institutional Church to recognize that their use of this label and accompanying attitude are responsible in part for providing moral cover, the perception of righteousness, for those wishing to lash out and hurt. It is not a stance separate from responsibility for the harm.
