No, something else could have caused it that had no relation to God giving it.

I for one am tired of all the gay-bashing, gay scapegoating, and lack of compassion in general. Recently, someone called me a “Sodomite Twerp” simply for trying to show compassion under a Catholic YouTube video trying to expose “how lavender!” the Church is.

From a random Christian to a random stranger!

Where’s the love?

Maybe we all could use a little PRIDE and celebrate the good things LGBT people have endured, like patience in suffering, courage, and self-giving committed love. They may have sex with the wrong people. So? That’s only one part of what it means to be gay. Only one part of what it means to be in a same-sex relationship!

People on YouTube comments don’t count. There are lot of trolls that just say mean things. I encounter it a lot especially in religious videos.

People are people, and many are being fed by Catholic personalities who aren’t careful in how they approach the topic. Or sometimes, by Catholic personalities and groups who are being uncharitable and just horrible from the get-go.

Depends on the what type of outlet it is, since It does sound like a conspiracy sort of thing and not too many people take that stuff seriously.

But that would mean that in some capacity God must have given it. Because God is omnipotent and omnipresent. Unless of course you’re going to fall back on the argument of free will, but even then that would mean God had some hand in it. Because the only other option would be that it was chosen outside of God’s will.

Yes - deeply closeted self-loathing homosexuals can be some of the most viciously homophobic people out there.

I had a friend in graduate school who often made anti-gay comments and jokes. For two years he was a homophobic as can be. Then right before we graduated he told me he was bisexual. And then got upset with me because I wasn’t angry about it.

I have to say–it really irks me when the obstacles a person faces in life is referred to as “a cross to bear,” as if we all have equal crosses, or that they’re all the result of a perceived sin, or that bearing them courageously somehow proves our faith to God. It kind of reminds me of the blind man of whom it was asked, “Who sinned? Him or his parents?”

Promoting acceptance of gay people is not the same as “promoting homosexuality” in the sense that one would promote a make of automobile or a brand of ice cream. Worrying that celebrating civil equality for gays is going to convince some straight people to become gay is like worrying that celebrating racial equality is going to convince some white people to become black.

Yeah, really.

I’m sure young men or boys (who don’t have SSA) who go to the event during “Pride Night” are going to say, “Hey, this gay stuff sounds like a lot of fun! I think I’m going to check this out!”

It’s very contagious that way.
 
All crosses are not equal. And what’s a cross, anyway? Paralysis? Depression? Lust?
 
@Tis_Bearself @BoomBoomMancini the OP has 3 very good points and those you didn’t address, which are:

1ºMoral Promotion/Endorsment of Sin
2ºCommercial Boycott ensuing
3ºModel set for the kids

That being said. I give the OP full reason in the above three points.
 
At least a few very vocal homophobic or gay-focused Catholic personalities have admitted to being gay, or have had a gay lifestyle sometime in the past.

  1. There are something like 81 home baseball games in a season. If Pride Night bothers you, then you can go to another home game and skip the whole thing.
  2. Commercial Boycott on a large scale is not going to happen because like I said, it’s one game out of 81 games in your town in a season. It’s not happening every week so it’s a blink-and-you-miss-it.
  3. I don’t have kids, or even any kids in the extended family who I’d worry about setting examples for.
Having said that, if the OP wants to boycott, that’s his right and he should feel free to do that, write letters etc.
He will be boycotting a lot of stuff because many if not most US companies support LGBTQ in some visible way from time to time. They are part of the customer base and considered part of the “diversity” of society.

Also I’m just idly chatting on CAF, not participating in a formal debate. If you want me to answer interrogatories you gotta pay me.
