Someone disclosing something personal to make someone else uncomfortable. Really, what are the chances of that?

That’s a pretty uncharitable assumption to make.

What is “the militant aspect”? I know quite a few lesbian, gay, and bisexual people and I have never experienced them as being militant.

This is the right of the parents.
Why should the state be making a moral decision such as this?

I always wonder if people with that attitude feel the same way about science class, or history class, or english class. I don’t see what the big fear is of teaching kids about themselves and the people around them. Public schools are notorious for putting spin on history, science, english, etc. The locals don’t seem to be too bothered by that, though.

There may not be.
The specific curriculum needs to be reviewed before making a decision.
 
Thread title: Are we too critical of homosexuals? Whoever this we are most of the we in this thread sure aren’t critical of them at all. Most here seem more critical of anyone who just might follow Biblical and Church teaching on homosexual acts. And this on a website called Catholic Answers Forum. I can only imagine what they say on non-Catholic or anti-Catholic forums about people following Biblical and Church teachings on the issue. Perhaps someone should start a thread with the title Are we too critical of those who follow Biblical and Church teaching on homosexual sex acts and marriage?

Someone said there would be consequences if I told someone, after they told me they were same sexed married, that I follow Church teaching and don’t believe in or recognize that people of the same sex can be married. It seems we’ve come full circle from homosexuals having to keep silent to those opposed to homosexual sex acts and marriage having to remain silent or suffer the consequences.

Now watch someone will pick apart and quote and dispute every sentence of my post.

The kinds of homosexuals who try to ruin people’s lives for refusing to support gender transition/same sex marriage. Think of all the small business owners who have been ruined or are currently under siege.
 
To be honest, how many gays are like this? Sure, they’re are self-serving SJW-type activists who are gay and attention seeking. Are individual gay people allowed to have character flaws without it being thrown back to characterize all gay people?

I could say ‘I do not care about a business not selling a cake for a gay wedding’ and someone else could say ‘if only all gay people were like that’. But the fact, there are quite a few gay people who don’t care.

If you’re only source of information about gay people are these battles in the media which are created to generate clicks and attention, then you’re not going to have a nuanced view.

I never said that all gay people are like that. All I’m saying is that there is a militant aspect of homosexuality.

Also, trying to ruin someone’s life because they disagree with you is not a mere character flaw. It’s just plain evil.

Apologies, you’re right, but to be honest, I don’t think a lot of people on here see the distinction.

As a gay Catholic, part of the reason why I think the answer is a resounding yes to the subject question under discussion, is because of how some people generalize and stereotype homosexuals. It has nothing to do with the Church’s teachings, which I follow.
 
Because the circumstances revealed don’t point to that possibility.

Again, these numerous wives aren’t being hidden away. A Catholic with an 8th wife presenting himself for communion in a parish he regularly attends is in plain site.

A Catholic man with an 8th wife should be banned from Communion unless he has 7 widows and/or annulments.

Pretty simple.

Just want to make sure we are on the same page.
The circumstances are as follows:

when a homosexual feels like they have to tell others of their sexual orientation even if the other person doesn’t know, care, or ask them…who out of the blue tells me she has a “wife”. Why tell me that? That’s private.

So, we do not know this person and no one asks.
But they somehow feel it necessary to tell of their “marriage”.
But somehow we should not think they may have a malicious intent?

As places to gain knowledge, it’s totally within a schools bounds to teach about human anatomy and reproduction from a scientific point of view, and things like STDs and their source like any other diseases. Literally anything beyond that is opinion, or values based. The school has no place teaching in that area.

It is not the job of the public school to step in and decide what your parents ought to be teaching you. Where people got this idea that the government is a surrogate parent is beyond me.

I think the reason it SEEMS like we are too critical of homosexuals is honestly because not enough bishops/priests/deacons preach about mortal sin.

In the realm of the Sixth Commandment, people need to reminded that the following cannot receive communion:
  • Fornicators
  • Masturbators
  • sexually active homosexuals
  • active birth control users
  • adulterers (including divorced and remarried without an annulment - unless they refrain from sex)
  • couples married outside the Church (which is a type of fornication)
  • Married couples engaging in unchaste sexual behavior.
  • etc.
However, I will concede that we honestly really do need more homilies against Birth Control & Fornication than homosexual acts.

I was at the grocery store recently, and the checker mentioned to me that her husband had the flu. Had she been gay and mentioned that her wife had the flu, what’s the difference? You would actually assume some kind of malicious intent?
