I don’t think we are too critical, the teaching of the Church has been and is clear… In mortal sin? No you are not able to take Eucharist

This doesn’t make sense. What if the only food available was cake, and that is all anybody ate. After a several generations, we would all die out from malnutrition.
Not a problem, because it won’t happen. Cake isn’t a problem.

It is a ridiculous question. God made homosexuals, and at a rate that we don’t need to worry about the whole world turning gay and there being no reproduction.
But even if he did, we have artificial insemination and IVF. Even if the whole world was as gay as it could get, we would still have some of those gay people wanting to have families and raise children (just as they do now).

So the solution to one immoral act is to condone another?

I wasn’t discussing morality. I was discussing why we don’t need to worry about the human race dying out if the whole world turns gay.

YES. I meant “fornificating.” I can’t edit my post anymore: hopefully everyone can tell what I meant.

Except you could apply that exact same line of reasoning to celibacy. Indeed in noncatholic circles I have heard that exact argument, that celibacy is wrong and unnatural because if everyone was celibate the whole human race would die out. Obviously this isn’t a line of reasoning Catholics can endorse.

Um, I think you need to ask @redbetta.gracepoole:
How many people do you know with 8 wives?

Is that all you can come up with ? Ridiculous question and cake…
Homosexual cannot have a biological natural birth ? Right or wrong …
So please explain how if everyone on this planet became homosexual births would occur?
It’s not a difficult question to answer and has nothing to do with God so please keep him out of it.

I think that I’ve heard of such bizarre celebrations…
However, I’ve never known of anyone who had one.

The difference would be that “back in the day”, being an involuntarily same-sex attracted homosexual was seen as something shameful and a moral defect (which, incidentally, some Christians will tell you can be “prayed away” — sorry, folks, it usually doesn’t work), and everyone passed themselves off as “straight” whether they were or not.
Personally, I think it would be over-sharing for a celibate gay person to go around telling everyone “what they are” and how they bear a cross, how they fight against it, and so on, but on the other hand it could give others so afflicted hope that they, too, could have this affliction and live a good, decent holy life. If I were in this situation, I think I’d just tell people “I’m a confirmed bachelor”, “I’m too set in my ways to be married”, or something like that, but to each his own.
I mentioned this elsewhere – just make generic cakes, have a box full of grooms, and another box full of brides, let them pick which ones, and then it would be entirely “on them” if they choose two grooms or two brides. I suppose polyamorous people could get as many of each figurine as there are in the “family”
Er… the word is “fornicating”.

I’ve never had anyone I didn’t know say that to me out of the blue for no reason. Nor have I myself ever said that to some stranger I just met. Usually, I would think that there would be some context in which this information would be relevant. I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone I just met tell me what their profession is either. If I had said to Jim when we met, “Jim, what do you do for a living?” then I might expect him to say, “I’m an architect” or “I’m a teacher.”
It would be much more common, I would think, for a gay man to say, “Hi, my name is Jim, and this here is my partner, John” while pointing to the man standing next to him. Or maybe in the course of a conversation about vacation plans, Jim might say, “My husband John and I are planning on taking an around the world cruise next month.” It wouldn’t take long for anyone to realize that Jim is gay without him actually saying, “I’m gay.”

And, do you think this is the norm?
Let me ask you this: if an average Joe on the street told another he just got divorced, would he be more likely to say, “Congratulations!” or “I’m sorry”?
And, under that Wikipedia article, it says divorce parties are often used to help heal someone after a divorce and help them to look on the bright side. In what universe do you need to heal from something you are celebrating?
The only reason why someone would celebrate a divorce is if that relationship was a special kind of awful or that person or if the person didn’t really value their marriage to begin with. But, for most people, the end of a relationship that you have invested so much time and energy into is sad. That that doesn’t even take into account the fighting over money, property, and children.

I believe this as much as I believe Noah and the Ark, that God created everything in six days, and that Jonah was swallowed by a whale and emerged unscathed a few days later.
That is to say, there are lessons there but I don’t believe these things happened as bona fide real life events.

Lesbians give birth, naturally, all the time. I am not sure of the point you are trying to make.
