Hmm is “a homosexual person” really the polar opposite of Thomas Aquinas? Surely a particular individual could have been found that represents a better antithesis for Christianity than simply being gay.

Ha ha. No, being homosexual is not the opposite of being Thomas Aquinas.
Neither does being homosexual require that one can’t be a good Christian. However, they are a group that has not always been treated so well by most forms of Christianity. Thus, a gay person helps represent the historical downsides of most forms of Christianity.
