Why are there homosexuals at so young an age?!

[BryPGuy89]

Well Duh…really
There are also never circumstances when unmarried sexual acts are proper… the point is that CHILDREN should not be having sex …where are these childrens parents throughout this all???

Homosexuality and fornication are exactly the same, they are addressed in the same passage in the CCC.

Homosexuality and fornication are exactly the same, they are addressed in the same passage in the CCC.

They both comprise sins against chastity, however, they are not exactly the same. Homosexual desire is an intrinsic moral disorder, heterosexual desire is not. Homosexual acting out is always a grave offense. Heterosexual genital expression is only a grave offense outside the sanctity of the marriage covenant.

It doesn’t matter the sinful act against chastity isn’t more exceptable if it’s a heterosexual act or homosexual one, they both are a sin against the same thing.

I grew up in the '50s and '60s, and I went to Catholic schools for 12 years.

There was no formal sex education until my senior year, when the younger associate pastor taught our religion classes.

So, sex education was mostly informal, backroom, on-the-ballfield type education. And, it chiefly consisted of vulgar speech. Two of my classmates exhibited conduct, outside of parental control, that would be deemed bizarre, by any standards, except that of sexual libertarians. They were both altar boys.

In those days, if anyone had a concept of drug abuse, it would have explicitly only referred to heroin addiction and possibly the use of reefers. In that same historical moment, another altar boy was stealing altar wine in the sacristy.

These were all shocking to me.

I can only attribute the demise of cultural taboos to the schools themselves, who have the philosophy of telling everything about sex and drugs to the youngest children. I think that is an experiment that has failed.

No.

Homosexuality is a grave disorder which, if not acted upon, is not in and of itself sinful.

Fornication is sex outside of marriage by an unmarried person (as opposed to adultery, which is infidelity within marriage), and although extenuating circumstances may alter culpability, it is a sin.

40-50 years ago, most of what we look at in ads and entertainment today would have been banned as the worst kind of pornography.

Why are we so surprised that young kids are hyper-sexual, when they are exposed every day to mountains and mountains of this stuff? Kids have always been naturally curious - in our day, we had no idea what it was we were curious about, though. Today, kids get it shoved in their faces from the time they can walk.

Add to that the hormones in our food, which push sexual development up by 6 months every generation, and you have a poison cocktail that makes kids physically sexual before they are mentally and emotionally prepared to handle it.

You are correct: they are both sins against chastity. However, fornication is a sin which is morally, but not intrinsically disordered, since its object is male-female conjunction. Homosexual “sex” (if you can really call it that) is both morally AND intrinsically disordered because it is not, in its essence, ordered to procreation. The distinction may not be immediately obvious, but when you think about it, it is not subtle.

The objective situation has nothing whatever to do with acceptability.

Maybe for the same reason there are heterosexuals at so young an age. I knew I was hetero when I was young; why shouldn’t a gay person be aware of their own sexual orientation at a young age?

I was talking to a friend from school today. She worked at a girl’s summer camp in July this year. I was asking about her experiences there. She casualy remarked that while she was there two of the campers, girls 9-12 years old, were caught having sex! 12 years old at the most!

Another friend of mine told me that his younger brother (13) was found in his grade school fondling another boy from a younger grade (I think I did see something about this in the local paper a year or so ago).

Look at these ages! This is just plain disgusting! What is wrong here? Why are these children (young children!) having homosexual experiences? Why do they even know about this?

Dear God, this is a sick society we are in

Sick - yes, but not very surprising in light of many factors. A few off the top of my head:
(1) Absent and uninterested parents;
(2) absence of positive mature masculine male role models (we used to call them “fathers”)(this affects both boys and girls);
(3) sex education in schools promoting sexual experimentation and homosexuality in particular;
(4) Media obsessed with sexual promiscuity, homosexuality and immoral behavior, and most people including children obsessed/overwhelmed with the media;
(5) videos/video games/internet plagued with sexual images and narratives of every kind including homosexuality;
(6) a generation (baby boomers) which has set the worst moral example of public and private behavior (sexual promiscuity, drug use, etc.) for subsequent generations including their children, grandchildren and so on of any generation in history (and many continue to do so, unfortunately);
(7) very easy access to mind altering drugs to reduce inhibitions;
(8) lack of authority structure in children’s lives - home, school - and a lack of responsibility placed on children, both giving them too much free time/opportunity to look for “cheap thrills”;
(9) ignorance of the dangerous health consequences of such behavior especially if carried on into adulthood, a condition in no way alleviated by our education system;
(10) a selfish self-indulgent society which encourages such behavior; and,
(11) a general lack of immaturity which although expected in children is no longer a condition controlled by positive influences in any of the other areas referred to above.
I am sure there are many more factors to add to this list.

Or maybe two kids with more curiosity than is good for them…this kind of thing wasn’t invented in the 21st century.
