I don’t believe in teaching children to judge other people based on things we “think”.

Gay people exist and our Catholic children are going to encounter them.

You have repeated said that the “gay lifestyle” is sinful. And I will say again, being gay is not a sin. Having sex outside the confines of marriage is the sin. Unless you actually witness this happening, you have no right to judge the “lifestyle” of another as sinful and teaching your children to d the same is reprehensible in my mind.
 
No one said anything about teaching to “Judge” people. Clearly you are reacting and not reasoning.

I already responded that no one said being gay is a sin…again you are off topic…you are reacting and not reasoning. We already defined what the “sins” were that were being discussed. To say that something is a sin is not judging…you need to talk to a priest.

I have had friends since I was in High school who were bisexual or homosexual and heterosexuals who live sinful life styles too…I know a priest who has seduced women. I have known one cross dresser and another transgender. In high school I use to lie and tell the guys I worked with I was lesbian so they would stop sexually harassing me!..Being discriminated as a lesbian was not as difficult for me in the work place as being sexually harassed. I am not homophobic or discriminating here so your anger with this issue is way off basis.

The way you choose have intimate sexual relations is a lifestyle…any immoral sexual act is sinful.

The sex of the person someone has sexual relations with is not enough by itself to constitute a lifestyle. A standard dictionary definition of the word “lifestyle” is as follows:
noun

the habits, attitudes, tastes, moral standards, economic level, etc., that together constitute the mode of living of an individual or group.

We are not just talking about sex here…we are talking about people who accept same sex relationships as a way of living. Anyways …accepting sexual habits as a way of life does constitute lifestyle per your definition.
 
How you live out your sex life is a life style.

How you live out your sex life is a life style. Get over it. The discussion is not what is a life style.

I am using your definition…you just don’t like it. Sex life is a life style.

Sex life is a life style…even using your definition. Life style is not part of this discussion so please stay on topic.

So how exactly do you define the “gay lifestyle”?

To identify as separate, wouldn’t it have to entail a difference from any other lifestyle?
Further, wouldn’t it have to have some quality that specifically identified it as gay?

Seems apparent to me at least that “gay lifestyle” would involve more than just being gay.
 
“Lifestyle” is what this thread is all about.

You came here angry that a school book fair is selling books that show as same-sex couple as a family.

Families come in all shapes and styles. That is the truth. Not all “lifestyles” will agree with everyone, but we all must live together. If you want to teach children to treat others differently based on how they sin, I guess that is your choice, just don’t expect everyone else to agree with you and pat you on the back because you are such a “good” person for standing up to the 'evil gays" .
 
That is not what I said was a sin… I numbered them 1 & 2. Please read the threads. I never used the word “gay” that is not what this thread is about. I am referring to same sex marraige…Please read the thread regarding reasons 1 & 2 that same sex marraige is a sin. Further more I sad “sex life” is a life style.

I am not sure if you are asking me, or the person I quoted.

I do not believe that being gay or being straight is a “lifestyle” in and of itself. Sexual identity is part of my lifestyle, not the whole sum of it.
 
I did not say it was the sum of your life style…but the fact is anyone’s sex life is a life style…even if you choose not to have sex. Again, the definition of a life style is out of the scope of the thread.

WHAT???
How does one have a same-sex marriage if one is not gay?

That is some awesome mental gymnastics you got going there. :woman_shrugging:t3:
 
lol. You are judgmental. I have had homosexual and bisexual friends since high school. I have known a cross dresser and transgender. In high school I use to lie and tell the guys at work that I was a lesbian so that they would stop sexually harassing me. It was easier to be harassed as a “lesbian” than sexually harassed as a heterosexual at work. I speak truth not hate.
 
“gay” is not a word I use because I don’t define a person by their sexual preference.
 
And what does this have to do with anything you have said?

You are angry because a book for children is showing them what life is like in the real world of the 21st century. I don’t care if you know gay people or not.
The rhetoric you are using is very damaging, whether you think it is or not.
 
I am not angry. I simply am increasing awareness of a problem. The point is that I am not homophobic or discriminatory so I have no reason to be angry…you are judgmental.
 
And I see no problem.

Families come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors.
What is wrong in teaching children to respect that it is love that makes a family?
