Gay activists look to undermine the notion that Marriage is a sacrament and for that they are at odds with the OHCAC that says Homosexuals are disordered therefore the unions are disordered.
Some propser the love of individuals to committed relationship as a benefit to these unions.
Some argue that homosexual marriages serve a state interest because they enable gays to live in committed relationships. However, there is nothing stopping homosexuals from living in such relationships today. Advocates of gay marriage claim gay couples need marriage in order to have hospital visitation and inheritance rights, but they can easily obtain these rights by writing a living will and having each partner designate the other as trustee and heir. There is nothing stopping gay couples from signing a joint lease or owning a house jointly, as many single straight people do with roommates. The only benefits of marriage from which homosexual couples are restricted are those that are costly to the state and society.
The reality is that committed or not there is no committment to engaging in activity that promotes the welfare of the state and society.
The OHCAC says that these relationships are not ordered and this seems to coincide with this argument.
The OHCAC says marriage is a sacrament and that homosexuality is disordered and cannot sanction same sex marriage. There appears to be no debate on this issue with respect to the Church. Those outside the Church attack and try to change opinion.
Homosexual relationships do nothing to serve the state interest of propagating society, so there is no reason to grant them the costly benefits of marriage.
