Pro-gay-rights folks, I don't understand y'all

[Kitteh]

Here’s something I’ve been thinking about. Say there’s a heterosexual couple that wants to get married. They practice normal sex, unnatural sex, sodomy, BDSM, and such. Then, there are two gay men who want to get married. They are chaste and don’t plan on having sexual relations until they get married.

Would you say that the heterosexual couple should be banned from marriage because of their unusual sexual habits? Or would you be fine with it because it’s a man and a woman? What about the chaste gay couple?

Dunno if that makes sense, it’s late, but I just wanted to throw that out there?

If I were a priest, and a hetero couple came to me to get married, and openly confessed their sexual intents, and BC, with no remorse to change now or in the future, I’d tell them, not gonna marry them, with the caveat they are not ready to married in the Catholic Church.

Goes without saying for the gay couple that ain’t gonna fly.

Those statements are just what I’d do. I dunno how that goes in the real world, but I’m gonna assume the diocese gives the local prients a lot of wiggle room on who they decide to marry.

Now if I’m a probate judge and the straight couple comes to me, I marry them, because although I feel the Church teachings are correct, nothing in secular law that says they can’t marry.

In Alabama a judge couldn’t marry a gay couple if he wanted to. (at least not legally) Thankfully.

Here’s the bottom line: love the sinner;hate the sin. This does NOT mean homosexual activity is acceptable; in fact the Lord strongly condemns it in no uncertain terms. (MANY bible verses!!) And the reason for the big push for gay marriage is for 1)undermining the Christian (and traditional) plan for marriage, designed by God, and 2) monetary reasons such as job benefits. Do not be fooled. While we realize our homos. brothers and sisters must carry a heavy cross, we must stand up and say NO the the special rights they are attempting to receive, and also encourage them to live chaste lives. Many of these people were indoctrinated into this lifestyle; and later find out they are not gay and never have been! This is why the school programs are so dangerous-they’re recruiting kids to get them into this lifestyle. The most loving thing we can do as Catholics is to encourage gay people to seek Catholic counseling; in many cases it does work, and any I have known that have done this say they finally feel free; they’ve been released. And of course, pray for them too.

Mizer- Thank you for your explanation. I am a firm believer in stating one’s opinion freely, with charity. “Sorry, but” still seems to me a copout. That’s why I put it in my signature line.

Hi again Pong,

Yes, I agree, all political correctness is a cop-out. Sign of the times. People are basically weak and too afraid to stand on the conviction of their bleifs for fear that someone will be mad at them. That’s why this type of forum is so popular. We can say what we think and not fear physical reprisal.
