Depends where you live in the world of course, but how do you react when a coworker or acquaintance starts talking about a homosexual couple as “cute”. I feel like it puts a lot of us in an awkward position. Most of the time I just ignore it and awkwardly change the subject.
 
Agreed.

If it wasn’t a work environment and I was close to whomever I was speaking to, I might bring up the Catholic point of view…
 
I wouldn’t say anything because I’d like to keep my job. Only the “right” views are allowed in the workplace (though I think disagreeing that a straight couple looked “cute” could get you thrown into HR as well).
 
I just say, “Oh? Good for them…” 😒

The same as I react to a heterosexual couple being called cute; general agreement and nod 🙂 If I know the couple I may talk more, if not then I wouldn’t have much to add.

You dont need to say anything, as it is a subjective adjective. If I agree, I would say so. If I didn’t agree, I wouldn’t bother. If I was asked what I thought, and I didn’t think the gay couple was cute (and it wasn’t at work), I would say “No, I don’t think so”.

If you are Catholic, the people who know you well know you don’t think gay couples are cute. The people who don’t know you well enough to know you are Catholic probably don’t really care. I wouldn’t discuss it with them. No good will come from it. If they think a gay couple is cute, you won’t change their mind.

Uggg…I felt awkward whenever I was asked if even a heterosexual couple was “cute”. Babies are cute. Puppies are cute. Grandparents after 50 years of marriage are cute.

Two young people in love.

Gag.

It’s part of life. Not “cute”. Keep your pda at home people.

My answer, is always a non-answer, “they seem to work well together”

Well they aren’t necessarily going to hell, it ain’t good for them spiritually though
 
Yes. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it spiritually. If you do then smirking at someone being spiritually harmed seems rather cold.
 
But why does it make a difference to someone that doesn’t believe homosexuality is a sin?
 
Because I do view smirking at another’s pain to be hideous. If you believe it will lead them to harm then smirking is incredibly cold.
 
Is that any better than nodding in agreement at someone getting themselves into pain? Hell doesn’t give a person any more pain than they already choose to live. Eternal separation from God is a pain for people who actually love God, not do what they please. So technically they really aren’t going to be in “pain”
 
Ah, so two wrongs make a right?

I don’t believe they’re in spiritual harm so I nod happily for them. You do, so you smirk at the idea.
