It is rather unpleasant, but it’s still mild compared to the stuff I’ve seen and heard. I’m using mild as a relative term, not an absolute term.

Same sex marriage isn’t about engaging in sex. That gay culture doesn’t revolve around sex doesn’t mean that most of those people wouldn’t be very interested in getting sodomy laws struck down given that most of those people are sexually active.

Heterosexual marriage is about engaging in sex (AND raising children). Tell me, O Oracle of the Catholic LGBT Community, what is same-sex “marriage” all about? Maybe it’s about not having sex anymore, as I have heard many homosexual women lose interest during long-term relationships.

“Marriage” these days is now primarily centered on “love”

PS, the whole “lesbian bed sex death” thing is just a myth.

The term “lesbian bed death” is based on a heteronormative view of sexual activity. It isn’t that lesbian couples stop having sex as they age. It’s that the type of sex they have stops meeting the heteronormative definition of what sex is.

By definition, two women can never have sex in any manner. That is, if you assent to the Catholic teachings.

That’s why Cardinal Ratzinger wrote about “same-sex sexual activity” :rolleyes:. Under your [very non-Catholic!] definition of sex, it would be impossible for two lesbians to commit mortal sin through physicality with each other.
 
It is directly contrary to the faith to suggest that gay people cannot have sex. In fact, the belief system that sex is only composed of penile/vaginal intercourse is the same belief system that leads kids to think oral sex and all sorts of other sex acts are okay, when they aren’t. It is a very dangerous philosophy and it deserves to be censured on a Catholic forum.

The Catholic faith explicitly states that gay people can have sex but cannot have procreative sex.
 
Perhaps I am guilty of a Clintonian equivocation. It seems that other types of “sex” are routinely labeled as sex even though they may not share both the procreative and unitive features of normal heterosexual intercourse. But I contend that these other types do not enjoy parity with it. Divine law teaches us that there is one way to have sex that is not a perversion of the gift of sexuality. There is no conceivable way for two women, or two men, to achieve sex which can be described as procreative and unitive and therefore morally sound. That was the point I initially tried to make, of course I was attacked for both my terminology and for my perspective, which is unsurprising in such a thread.

There are different kinds of love.

But isn’t that the whole point of “gay” pride activism? That different kinds of love should still receive the same legal recognition? Two people involved in a homosexual relationship are expressing a different kind of love than a man and a woman in a Sacramental marriage who are themselves expressing a different kind of love than a person might feel for a sibling or an aunt.

It’s very arbitrary to say that, while there are different kinds of love, some of those differences should be ignored by law while others must be enforced.

The former couple would probably argue they are expressing the same kind of love as the latter.

I don’t really care for the black pride month / parade events. I don’t like the music and it’s too loud. I also don’t like the way that some of “them” conduct themselves. I personally find some of the things “they” do personally offensive.

I don’t want to sound too uncharitable, but is there a particularly good way to ban black pride parades and events without violating the First Amendment to the United States Constitution?

Sounds familiar…….

O come on. What do black pride parades have in common with gay pride parades?

Well, they cannot have marital sex, they cannot have conjugal sex, no matter whether they assent to Catholic teaching or any other teaching, since marital sex is impossible to them.

The Church, of course, condemns any kind of genital expression outside of marriage. But same sex couples are not suited to marriage by nature.

They may engage in various forms of sexual expression, but they do not have conjugal sex, because it is impossible to them by nature. Two women or two men cannot have conjugal sex.

Not in the real sense of the word, but they can make a good travesty out of sex. They can definitely bring each other to orgasm which is most peoples’ fantasy of what sex is about for them. Too bad they don’t realize what sex is for ultimately.🤷
