Yes. Isn’t that gay bandwagon getting awfully overloaded by now? 😦
 
I signed it and e-mailed it to family and friends too. I’m all for research and a possible cure for HIV and Aids (especially those innocent children born with it) but to sit here and promote “Gay Games” that’s just plain wrong. There is other ways to raise money. But, aside from those “innocent babies, people who recieved tainted blood transfusions, some health care workers and innocent people who were monogamous, but their spouses weren’t”, The rest of them got this because of their “immoral behaviors of Gay sex, IV drugs and promiscious heterosexual sex” There I said it. Not very PC, It’s the truth and it’s the way I feel.
 
All major drug stores sell birth control and condoms…what about those?
 
I signed the petition

I wish I could change pharmacies. Maybe I will sometime, but right now I can’t
 
do you people have any idea that there are (gasp) OTHER religions BESIDES catholicism in this country? Now, you are absolutely entitled to your right to practice your religion, so why isn’t everyon else? I find that a lot of times, many people on here feel as though issues are being “pushed down their throats.” But I feel like you people push your views down everyone elses throat. Do you really have all this time to be worried about what company may have given some money to some cause associated with something you don’t like. That’s an awful lot of free time spent on being angry.

Us, pushing down their throats, excuse me, May I list the things being pushed down the throats that offend not just Catholics, but many other Religions, Let’s see there are Gay Marriages, Roe vs. Wade, Refusal of children even saying the word “God” in public schools, Not allowed to even display anything to do with Religion, (and that includes Santa Claus-because of St. Nicholos). Women being made to feel like breeding machines because we don’t want to use Artifical birth control, teaching our children that having two daddies/mommies is normal, shall I go on…

That is a contradiction of words isn’t it. What kind of Religion is “Catholic Lesbian”?

Its not a new religion, it just menas that I was raised as a catholic and born as a lesbian. I guess it should be Lesbian Catholic then, becuase the Catholic part is only learned, while being a lesbian is innate. I suppose you’re all going to laugh and say that it’s a choice, but until you KNOW, personally, what it is like to feel how people like me feel, what it is like to have known even as a small child that something was different about me, you can’t say anything.
And as for your next blind attack, there was no “horrific event” in my past that must have scarred me in some way to make me this way. I was raised by two loving parents who are still together and i didn’t even know what homosexuality was until my late teens. But i can tell you that it is not a choice. You are absolutely right in that it is a more difficult life to live, so why would people intentionally choose it? They wouldn’t. They just have to live their lives as happily as can be.
I don’t even see why it’s such a problem. I don’t practice birth control, I will never have an abortion becuase I made some “mistake”. I will, however, be having a child with my partner in the near future, which i’m sure will make you all be happy for me. Even though some of you may not even feel that my child has a soul.
And to say that bringing a child up in a same-sex household is abuse is ridiculous. How can the absence of a penis in my household constitute abuse? If anything, I would say that there is less of a chance of abuse in my household due to that exact fact.
And furthermore, not a single person who responded to my initial post had anything to actually say about the post other than to attack me personally for your own fun. I know i’m outnumbered here, I’m just trying to engage in a conversation. Unless being a lesbian makes me unworthy of conversing with.
 
First and foremost if you and your “partner” have a child they will have a Soul, every human has one. I am not having fun here and futhermore I did not realize you were a Lesbian, I responded to the other person’s post. (Quote-Is Catholic Lesbian one of these Religions…) But being you now brought it up I will no longer respond to you because I do not wish to talk about this subject, or your lifestyle. I just want to let you know all babies have a Soul.

So i guess being a Lesbian DOES make me unfit for conversation. I can feel the charitable feelings flowing.

Look, you did not start out with the most charitable of posts, either. That, however, is not the point. The Catholic Church does not teach that all same sex attractions are the result of some traumatic event. It acknowledges that some people are born with these attractions and that it is a HUGE cross to bear. You may not have been born with that choice. However, you were born with the choice of whether or not to engage in homosexual activities. You do choose to engage in that lifestyle, and that is damaging to you and the part that is a sin.
Since you choose to live your entire life in direct opposition to a very basic Catholic teaching, it begs the question of why you choose to call yourself Catholic?
As for us being “angry” about the Gay Games donation, i don’t think anyone is angry, just frustrated. People tend to paint us as evil gaybashing hicks, when that isn’t where we’re coming from at all (that’d be the Westboro Baptist Church). It’s that i don’t feel i can send my child to public schools without having him indoctrinated with views contrary to everything i believe (birth control, premarital sex, same sex attractions, etc). How am i supposed to raise my child a good Catholic when everyone and everything is sending him exactly the opposite message? We are the minority and the ACLU and liberal media are doing their best to take away the rights of anyone to express any Christian belief whatsoever. Just because i know you should live your life celibately doesn’t mean i hate you; i am Christian, and a sinner myself, and i know God loves you just as much as I. But it does mean that i will put my money into businesses that support the values i want to pass onto my children, and i will let them know they will lose my business if they are undermining my efforts as a parent. That is my right as a Catholic American.

Thank you very much for answering in a civil manner. And I mean that with deepest sincerity. I acknowledge that my first post could definately have been worded in a more calm fashion and I appologize for that. I call myself a catholic because I do believe in God, I was raised in the catholic church. I have just had to work on being right with myself before I could be anything to anyone, especially God. And that included me recognizing myself as a lesbian. I know that God does love me, just as I am. I am not perfect, nor is anyone. I get up and do the same things as you each day, go to work, do some laundry, food shopping, paying bills. The only difference is that I lay my head next to a wonderful woman instead of a wonderful man each night. I tried very hard to be different than I am, and it has taken a lot for me to be where I am with myself today. I just could not live with the agony of being something that I am not and living a life that wasn’t really mine, just what was expected of me. I am not sorry for being who I am. I truly belive in my heart that I was born this way, regardless of what studies or statistics may say. I look back on videos and pictures of myself as a child and it is so clear to me now as the reason that I always felt like something was missing. I have found that missing peice in myself now and all I can ask for from you is acceptance as merely just another human being, with hopes and dreams for a good life. And once again, I thank you for your kindness.

Being Catholic means practicing the faith and its teachings. Do you have any intention of ending your relationship? Do you confess this weakness in confession?

Were those catholics who did not believe the earth was flat any less of a catholic? They opposed what the church said, they were disagreeing with the faiths teachings…

Whether or not Soulspeak confesses particular sins in confession is between her and her priest it is none of our business.

The earth being flat is a rather different issue than homosexuality.

My questions are simply challenges do what she declared. I do not expect a response.

Meh, I’m on your side.

What exactly is the gay games? Is it like the same kind of a thing as the olympics only featuring homosexual athletes?

I’ve noticed that around here, too, with a few exceptions. I hope that it’s only a few angry men (and women) but for folks who are about life it doesn’t seem that there is a lot of celebration of the joys of life. I can honestly say that in my parish we spend our money helping the women who have had abortions with counseling and giving baby showers and food shelter work and clothing for moms who elect to have their babies, really, it’s a lot more fun than going the angry route, besides which we get to
hold and cuddle the babies and watch them and their moms grow.
It seems to me that to give a good example about the joys of life is a better reason to persuade a woman that her life and the life of her child is a worthwhile venture to pursue.
Instead of worrying myself about the ten percent of folks who are gay I try to concentrate on the ninety percent who seem forgotten by some folks.

I’m on your side, Soulspeak. I’m not sure what the Gay Games are though.
