That is so backwards thinking it’s making my head spin. If the kids don’t bat and eye, it means they think it’s normal and hence haven’t been taught right.

It’s also something I never chose to be attracted too. Why am I attracted to men and committing certain acts with them? I dont know. I understand it’s perverted, but I struggle with it, and it doesn’t help if people treat me differently. In some cases (not you) Christians call people who experience SSA, like me, savage animals, and should be persecuted, when we havent done anything.

But anyway that is for another thread, this thread is about dealing with a couple who is behaving in an immoral behavior near kids. I say she should, in good conscience, explain to the gay couple that these acts should not be shown in an open environment.

Where to begin? a) Not all same-sex couples have anal intercourse. b) There is no specific reference to anal intercourse in scripture. c)Church teaching on anal intercourse is the same as for oral sex, masturbation, coitus interuptus, and sex using artificial contraception. They are all wrong for the same reason: sex being deployed to ‘unnatural’ ends. If your feels for ll these things and people holding hands in anticipation of them is the same your unpleasant, uncharitable and extreme emotions are at least aligned to Catholic teaching. If they are not, you are a Sexual Cafeteria Catholic, choosing what sins you personally like and don’t like. d) Even if what you said were true it would be uncharitable to use the words you do. I remember as a young man being reprimanded for speaking by an Archbishop in jest of a friend who was homosexual. “If I were a homosexual - and you have no way of knowing”, said the Archbishop, I would have been hurt by what you said".

For the couple engaged in a same sex sexual relationship, there is no means to retain a sexual relationship and yet conform with moral teaching. The same sex sexual relationship is irreformable. That is a distinction with the other sins you address.
 
Because it presents a visible display of disorder. Serial monogamy is invisible. The disorder are of different degrees. Just sayin’
That’s why people respond differently

Not if the sodomites are male and female.

Umm - not if they are your relatives it’s not - the scenario posted by the OP.
 
They make the disorder visible with their bodies

male male
female female

Edit: I may have missed your point.
My point is in response to the question: why is this sin singled out?

I think ‘intensely perverted’ is a bit strong. I would say it’s ‘another point of view’ and that the Gospel isn’t black and white.

I agree with Spyridon. What you quoted from the Gospel has absolutely nothing to with allowing children to be subjected to openly homosexual displays of affection. Your interpretation really is perverted.

Children see many displays of affection. It is the world they live in. D you think God has not made it possible for them to discern goodness? What sort of limited, stunted Gd do you believe in?

Do you think it will turn them gay? Does seeing a drunk person turn them alcoholic or seeing a cigarette make them a smoker. Grow up.
 
Are you saying the story of Sodom and Gomorrah doesn’t include a condemnation of men having sex with men?
 
Are you honestly suggesting that’s the highest principle of that story? How do you personally decide which of the old testament you think is inspired and which bits are obsolete?
