SPLIT: Homosexuals are in loving relationships

[Mary_Gail_36]

Maybe you were hangiing with the wrong crowd? There are indeed alot of homosexuals who have a ton of different sex partners, I myself know, as I used to sleep with a different guy(sometimes 2 or 3) every night, but I’m now in a committed relationship and also know many SS couples who are in a loving relationship

I just wanted to comment on this.

For the record, I am old enough to be your mom.

I just find it so sad that someone as young as yourself has given away his innocence so often and carelessly. Just by sheer logisitics, by your age, this is something that you started before you were an “adult”

And yes, I would say this to you if you were sleeping with a different girl every night or 2 or 3 girls every night

Are you positively sure that every one of these partners were HIV free…even if you practiced safe sex? I really believe it’s sad that you would risk your life for some fleeting pleasure…

AIDS has been around since before you were born…do you really think that a condom is protection enough? The numbers you describe are just sad. And it’s careless.

And it would be just as careless if you were describing heterosexual encounters.

I don’t mean to sound mean at all, one day (ok sounds cliche’, so what…) you could look back and wonder of it was all worth it.

Can you provide one where He spoke about homosexuality?

The New Testament has several - have you read the NT?

Where did this come from? He attended a gay marriage, not a murder. What does murder have to do with sexual orientation?

In the original thread, the OP stated he was pro abortion. He claims to be 4Christ, so, he needs to prove that those 4Christ can be 4 murder.

This is a tough topic. I have not seen any evidence that homosexuality is a choice. I am very heterosexual - I know I have no choice in the matter - I wonder how it feels to be attracted to the same sex with the same intensity. I suspect there is a genetic component here that we would rather ignore as Catholics.

As for the quality of relationships between homosexuals, I have seen plenty of evidence that the distribution is similar to that in heterosexuals. My next door neighbors are a homosexual couple - they have been together for 35 years. Their union is pretty solid, from what I have observed. They are religious, follow Catholic doctrine (except in one area, obviously). Their relationship is as loving as I have seen, in any population (homo or hetero). So this topic is not as straight-forward (pardon the pun) as it appears. The God I know is a loving God - I have trouble believing he would not accept homosexuals into His kingdom. I do understand the Church teaches otherwise, but I see the Church as a ‘deliciously imperfect’ institution (I love it with all its defects).

Nope, yes it was quite sad(and pathetic)

It depends, when I was sexually active, sometimes I felt a condom was enough protection and other times I felt it wasn’t.

I look back at it right now, and it’s not worth it. I had a couple of scares that I might have contacted HIV, did alot of drugs at clubs, and other stuff I don’t want to get into. It was a huge mistake

I’m offended by what everyone is saying about gays. I’m 18 and I’m a lesbian in a committed, long-term relationship. I am so in love it is amazing and I’m also a devout Catholic. People just can’t open their minds to the few people out there who ARE homosexual and in caring relationships. Of course there are going to be gay couples who aren’t in love and who are promiscuous, there are opposite sex couples who are like that as well. In fact, I wish gay marriage was legal in PA, because I would be married in a flash, because I want to go through life with this person forever. The best part of it all is that I’m loved in return. And we are both good people. We’re both in vet school and we have good hearts. No one would ever say we’re evil. We’ve been through similar experiences; we were both raped when we were younger and we connect in ways other people couldn’t. It’s like we were made for eachother, the way our bodies fit together, it’s just perfect. I can’t see God forbidding a love so perfect and sincere.

I know in my heart that it feels right, and no one can tell me otherwise. I’ve prayed to God to guide me on the right path, and this is where he led me and who he gave me to travel life with.

I suggest all Christians make the decision for themselves whether they will support homosexuality, without the Church’s influence. The movie that really helped my friends and family support me is “But I’m a Cheerleader.” It’s about a lesbian whose parents send her to a Christian camp to turn her “straight” after finding out about her alternative lifestyle.

SUPPORT LOVE <3

Saying you are an active lesbian and a devout Catholic are contradictory terms. You cannot be both. You are a Catholic in a state of mortal sin with your immortal soul in danger.

Your comment “I can’t see God forbidding a love so perfect and sincere” is the typical comment of someone wanting to twist God to their will because they do not want to do God’s will. Get it into your head that God forbids homosexual activity and Scripture is clear and unambiguous on this that unrepentent homosexuals will NOT go to Heaven.

I have to say Teen4Christ that you signature on your posts really bothers me…If my kids don’t have Jesus Christ as their Lord, then I have failed them as a parent! It has nothing to do with embracing diversity!

I’ll take it down for you

You don’t have to take it down. It’s your choice to have it. I just wanted to let you know that I don’t think that is how a parent has failed their child. We teach our children about people with other beliefs or lifestyles that are different from ours. What we believe is right and wrong, but we also teach them respect. If they don’t have that, that’s a very sad thing, but I don’t base my success as a parent on it. If I raise them to treat others as Christ would, then they will be kind to others. It all goes hand in hand…strong belief in Christ = loving, but not always agreeing with others.

Many more are not and have no desire to be.

If we are going to talk about this situation lets at least talk honestly. I had to work way to many Gay Pride Days and parades in San Diego to believe the hyped nonsense about committed gay couples being anything more than what it is. Propaganda to try to convince us that homosexuality is just another lifestyle choice that is perfectly acceptable.

If you don’t believe me go to Youtube and check out some of the spectacular footage from the various gay pride parades worldwide. If you have never seen one, it may be an eye opener into what these people really feel, think and do. And more importantly exactly what they are trying to ram down our throats

Do you understand the purpose of gay pride?

How many gay people are you friends with? Close friends?

Some people will try to separate you from your partner, some will deny, some will doubt, some’ll gossip, some’ll despise and some’ll scorn before your own very eyes.

That’s because we care about her immortal soul.

That what the Catholic Church says.

and Scripture is clear and unambiguous on this that unrepentent homosexuals will NOT go to Heaven.

eh, what the Bible says or doesn’t say is debatable. Viewing Scripture through the lens of the Gospels doesn’t convince me of your view.

The Catholic Church is the Church founded by Christ himself and he gave it authority.

I can’t debate that.

 

[YipYupYep]

I know over a dozen SSM couples who have been together 15 years plus, one couple over 35. I’ve read about MANY couples who have together longer than that.

35 years. That long?

That’s too bad. Living that much of there life time in mortal sin. A good part of a God given gift of life doing violence against God in a mockery of Holy Matrimony.

Even though. Is never too late to turn from there sin, repent and live a life of victory with there Divine Master, Jesus Christ All Mighty.

Get help now.

Our Lord and Savior came for sinners, not the just. Go to him. Confess your sin to his Priesthood and be forgiven.

So your a “devout Catholic”? Who gave you that line? I already know. It came from your head that has been filled with lies from Satin.

If you really are a lesbian, your cross is heavier than most, however, the Catholic Church is the Bride of Christ. Throw down your sin; pick up your cross and follow him.

The thing about homosexuality is that it is a choice. - This quote is from Hadassajones. Sorry, I haven’t learned to how to put the quotes in these boxes like the rest of you,

Concerning the above quote, I want to ask all those who believe homosexuality is a choice…How old were you when you chose to be heterosexual? Did you have to think about it? Weigh the options pro or con out? - Tshawn
