Ratzinger - regarding humans

Your claim that non-heterosexuals "aren't fully developed humans" raises several questions.

Theologically: how does this revelation affect dogma regarding a Creator?   Did God just make a mistake - and why has the topic of "non-human humans" not ever come up in the past?   Surely you of all people know that there have been non-heterosexuals since long before the forming of the Church; the papacy alone has had several of them according to well-documented history.   Since the apostolic nature of the Church is THROUGH the papacy itself, what does it mean since some of that tradition involves "non-human humans"?

Rights: Of course the wider problem is introduced within the context of "human rights."   Which human rights apply ONLY to "complete humans" and which are no longer extendable to "under-developed homans?"    

Language:  to what extent does a word like "humane" apply to those who are no longer included as real humans?  

Genetics: if someone has children and then is discovered to be "not fully human" what status does that make the child?   IS there some miracle in conception that a non-heterosexual parent having a fully-heterosexual child somehow re-instates their complete humanity?   If the child is also non-heterosexual are they even less human than their less-than-human parent?
