Any good, non-threatening, charitable homosexual articles out there?

[Odell]

I know its near impossible sayinng anything about homosexuals without someone getting offended. However im looking for something that is non-threating that does more to support marriage; Catholic sense than condemning gay marriage.

This is more generally about the beauty and value of sex, and the consequences of its misuse. Homosexuality is one of the main things addressed, but not the only one. Either way, I hope this helps. He’s a wonderful defender of Natural Moral Law:

Fr. Michael Schmitz has a great talk just released by Lighthouse Catholic Media entitled "From Love, By Love, For Love. It is an excellent perspective on how the Church really views this issue.

This is about as charitable as you will get without violating Church teachings. Archbishop Mahony has always been an ally to gay and lesbian Catholics without compromising Church teachings.

I’d like to say that this is possibly the most gentle and loving response to the gay community in an era of heated rhetoric on both sides.

It doesn’t help when gays and lesbians march into churches flaunting their sexuality demanding a redefinition of marriage. But it doesn’t help either that the Church is being legalistic and rigid in response to homosexuals by randomly denying communion and funerals, establishing twelve step programs that ally with groups like Exodus International and NARTH.

There needs to be a middle of the ground approach (without compromising Church teachings of course). Los Angeles does that. Mahoney did that.

Sadly I get the feeling the Ministry to Gays and the HIV positive in Los Angeles will be squashed by Archbishop Gomez and replaced by ex-gay Courage. It’s happened in Oakland, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Hartford. It’s a shame Mahoney is retired.

Check out this beautiful homily from the pastor of my parish. It’s not exactly about gay marriage as the OP requested, but it is quite lovely.

Check out Christopher West’s “Theology of the Body for Beginners”. If they’re opening to hearing the Pope’s approach to sexuality, it will revolutionise their understanding every sexual issue.
