I have picked a side.

I support the right of any couple to get civilly married without the government deciding who can get married.

I support the churches in not extending sacramental marriage to couples they deem unacceptable.

I support the right of Hollywood to make any kind of movie they want.

I also support the right of people to go or not go to a movie they don’t like.

Agreed.
 
I’ve picked a side… and it’s the side the Church is on.

My best friend claims she’s gay. I say that because for over 20 years, she had heterosexual relationships (in some cases actively so) and I never saw her going down that road. So when I got an email back from something I sent regarding Mary and it was negative and a “don’t remind me of religion” message… I finally put two and two together and confronted her. Viola! She’s gay! And to her, she claims she has no clue as to how it happened as it “just did.” Do I love her… yep. Does it make me sick about the life she’s living… yep. Have I told her that she’s not welcome in my home with her lover… yep. And the ball is in her court. All I can do is pray for her. But she knows my disgust and she actually had the audacity to ask why she’s not a Godmother to my children.

Hate to let you down, but you’re a horrible friend. I’d just forget you exist if I were her. 20 years and you can’t even let her in your house all of a sudden. Just horrible.

You are a very bad friend, honestly. Any other rational being would’ve accepted their friend of so many years, better or worse. It enrages me to see things like this.

I have a friend I’ve known since grade school. I used to think he was a tail-chaser, an all-around ladykiller. I was wrong, he’s gay. He shamefully admitted this to me, and said ‘hey, if you don’t want me around, I understand’.

I asked him why the HELL he’d think that, and gave him a hug. I didn’t catch the gay, and I’ve no feelings in that way toward him. He’s been like a brother to me for years, we’ve played football & hockey together. I helped him graduate high school. You sound like you’ve known this person a while. Remember the old times, and respectfully ask yourself how you can sleep at night doing what you’ve done.

I really, really hope you reconsider your actions. And you spelled ‘voila’ wrong.

feel free to reread the post… I said not allowed in my house with her lover… I live over 3000 miles from her so if she brought her lover with her, I won’t have that type of stuff in my house…

I do accept her… I still talk with her, I still love her… but I don’t have to put up with her lifestyle. You and the other poster… feel free to reread my first post… your emotions are clouding your comprehension of what I wrote! :rolleyes:

I didn’t grow up with her. We never grew up around each other… I’m a military brat, she grew up in one town. And I love her. I even said that in my post… but your chastisement proves that people like you assume people like me hate gays… I said I love her but not her lifestyle. I don’t have to accept her lifestyle! And I sleep just fine at night knowing I love my friend and not her sin, thank you.

I believe what she said was she wouldn’t let her in with her lover. So I assume she means that she would let her in if she didn’t have her lover with her. If she lets them in together as a couple then she is sending the signal that she approves of their relationship.

If your friend was a drug addict and hurting herself by using drugs would it be okay to let her in let her use drugs in your house or would you be a true friend and say I can’t let you in if you’re going to do that in my house?

Homosexuality as harmful as drug addiction. I’ll remember that when I need a good joke.

I think that is so tacky when people correct grammer or spelling especially on a Catholic forum. What are you the spelling police? As long as people understand the posts who cares about the spelling, punctuation or grammer? Oops, excuse me I meant Gramm-ar. I hope I don’t get a point deduction off my post for my mispelled word.

Good, and I don’t let gun fearing people that assume I’m to hide my guns because they don’t like them into my house either… :rolleyes: (using a sarcastic analogy there)

basically… we all have our standards. I won’t lower mine to let a homosexual person that wants to sleep with their lover stay the night at my house. If she came to town with her lover, she is more than welcome to get a hotel room, and I’ll even help her find a nice one. But I won’t have that behavior in my house exposing my young children to that.

You’re demanding me to respect my friend… why can’t you respect the fact that I won’t put up with my friend’s behavior and instead has chosen to call me prejudiced?

Wow… the original post said to pick a side and defend it… I’m glad I picked a side… but if this is the ramifications I’m going to have to suffer for picking the side I did… BRING IT ON… 🙂
 
I’m not clouded at all. I accept my friends in my home under all circumstances except for ones in which they have become hostile.

Friends should not have to be friends under the right conditions only.

I think it might help you a tad if you’d read the posts more carefully…

Homosexuality nor drug addiction is a joke and what Gloria said is very clear.

Ditto. I said that equating the two was the joke.

😃 😃 :rotfl: Thanks!!! I had to roll my eyes… when I can’t be attacked for the content of my post, I’m attacked for the context! How trivial.

It’s worse. It’s harmful to our souls.

Drug addiction can kill the physical body but homosexual acts can land you in hell if unrepented.

If the main reason to be Catholic were to avoid landing in hell, I’d get out and go find a less selfish religion. Of course, that isn’t the main reason. But you seem to think so.

congrats… I’m glad you don’t care if your friends have something in their life that either causes them direct or spiritual harm.

I totally agree… however I have standards in which I want my children to be raised. And anything that will send a mixed message to them is to be avoided at all costs. When my children are all done “being raised” and out on their own, I want the people around me that I consider friends to be respectful of my way of life as I will be of theres. Which, inevitably, shuts some people out of my life. I can’t make everyone around me happy, nor do I strive to as that would drive ME up a wall because we all have different standards and ways of thinking.

Standards, my friend, standards.
