I was not talking about facilitating sinful behaviour. I am talking about legislating legal civil rights whch some would say is theirs anyway. Its not about allowing homosexual behaviour.
I don’t know what country you are from, but in the U.S., laws are made to 1) encourage the desirable, and 2) discourage the undesirable. Marriage is not a civil right. Here again, in the U.S., the government is charged with protecting a person’s rights. If I want to marry, and no woman will marry me, should the government force one into marriage with me just to ensure a supposed “right”? Of course not, and that’s why marriage is not a right: government cannot ensure it.
Do you really think you are stopping homosexual activity by not alowing them civil rights?
This is a different question altogether; but let me say that you don’t stop an activity [or even reduce it] by encouraging it. IOW, activity that is rewarded is likely to be repeated.
Should a man who engages in extramarital affairs be also denied civil rights then? We are all sinners.
Nor is adultery a civil right, but just you wait.
Why men only? Why would men lose their standing?
YOU DIDN’T READ THE ARTICLE.
Liberal values are not all bad. Perhaps we should all be more liberal with our charity and compassion. Christ was.
Liberalism is a sin. Not that you’ll read it,

No one can force his morals and values on another.
This is an absurd statement, for the law is the codification of values and morals. You
must legislate morality . . . Think what a law is. It is, in fact, the imposition of morality. After all, a law states that there is something you must do or something you must not. This implies that the “something” is defined as being a moral imperative, morally wrong or right according to some moral standard. This is indisputable, for if something isn’t a moral imperative, why force people to do it? And if something isn’t morally wrong, why prevent people from doing it? In the end, someone’s [or some group’s] concept of right and wrong will be imposed on society, for we must have laws. Why else do you think liberals fight so hard to get elected and pass laws mandating their agenda?
We can still stand firm on the Church’s and our position that same sex activity is not normal. …
If there is a more absurd statement, I’d like to know what it is. It is even more absurd than the one above. If it is not normal, why would we approve of it? Catholics are charged with building a more just society, as liberals are so fond of reminding us, but you don’t do it by supporting what has been declared by the Church to be an intrinsic evil, nor by ostracizing and isolating men from society.
