I honestly don’t know. My question — a very simple one, I think — all along has been this: why is it wrong to listen to LGBT Catholics, who are upholding Church teaching, when they say it’s important to them to participate in Pride Month?
 
When the act occurs between two men or two women that is not love and I sincerely hope you do not believe it is okay to commit homosexual acts and call it love. You are Catholic according to your profile.

Show me how I questioned your faith.

And yes, Catholics are supposed to correct people when they go astray.

You’ve made the claim that Catholics should or should not do X (without definitive evidence of this claim from the Church, I might add) and chastised me for failing to live up to your personal expectations. Again, please do not assert that I have “gone astray.” Absolutely nothing I’ve said in this thread violates Church teaching. Look to thyself.

We can always frame this as a Chinese Communist interference with our first amendment freedoms.

Can Trump ban Tik Tok for foreign interference? After all, don’t other foreign countries restrict internet access?
 
We don’t lnow what causes same sex attraction or gender dysphoria.
The chaste life is a challenge regardless of orientation.
I don’t believe anybody should live in shame because of attractions they can’t help.
So I can see the merit being open about their experience.
But I can’t give anybody the go ahead to commit any sin.
I would be curious why somebody chaste and gay would go to the pride parade.

Apparently you missed my previous replies to you:

If someone plans to remain chaste, and they so planned because they were Catholic and viewed such actions as sinful, why would they be celebrating that which tempts them?

On the linked About page of Vine and Fig, 4 people are highlighted. Two are men “married” to each other, one is a woman who lives with her “partner,” and one has no mention of any involvement with anyone.

So it is a freely chosen behavior and not a genetic condition? Even less reason for Catholics to participate in Pride Month.

I shared an article earlier in this thread that provides voices of such people.
 
Are you claiming that all self-identified LGBT Catholics who participate in Pride Month are failing to uphold Church teaching on homosexual acts?
 
I don’t think they are all failing to uphold this church teaching. But by attending and promoting such events they can easily commit the sin of scandal by leading others who may not be so self controlled into environments like this.

Agree 100% with all that.

As I said in post #55, I’ve never been to a Pride event.

I can’t speak for an LGBT person.

But, I’m imagining that some “chaste” LGBT person might go out of a sense of commonality or solidarity. They might have common experience growing up; they might have common concerns (job discrimination).

And, as I said in the other post. they might have an incentive to show the broader community that they’re not a bunch of freaks.
 
You are supporting an event which promotes sinful behavior and trying to rationalize it away. The Church is very clear in this matter.
 
Please cite the CCC, Canon, or infallible magisterial statement to support the charge that whenever someone participates in Pride Month, whether faithful to Church teaching or not, she is committing a sin.
 
It’s called scandal. The Bible doesn’t have list out all the infinite possible ways to sin for something to be s sin. Pride Month and events like their parades promote homosexual acts and behaviors as normal. When a Catholic supports them the commit the sin of scandal.

You clearly cant grasp that so I’m out.
