Thanks for bringing this up.We ought to remind them the fate of Matthew Shepard.
I would disagree. Many people feel there is nothing wrong with engaging in these acts and some even think they are good. Many people also aren’t helpless and controlled by sexual desires or impulses. People do choose to engage in these acts even out of love sometimesNo person who fornicates outside of marriage, engages in homosexual acts, masturbates, feels good about themselves. They feel they are helpless and have to have this release. That is vice and is from Satan.
I’ve wondered about that myself. I’m assuming you are referring to gay men who find “gay sex” repulsive. It could happen.Just as a heterosexual would be repulsed by the thought of gay sex, so would many homosexuals. Expecting them to engage in acts that repulse them is sickening
I do not expect homosexuals to go ahead and marry someone of the opposite sex, and I don’t believe anything in my comments should be interpreted that way. It gives me no pleasure to have to say this, but if they are unalterably homosexual, and cannot (or simply do not wish to) become heterosexual — keep in mind that many people are bisexual, not exclusive hetero or homo — then they have to accept the cross of lifelong, unwanted celibacy. Some might choose to share the fact of their orientation, and others might just demur with comments such as “marriage isn’t for me”, a comment that should be taken at face value without speculation or goading the person to get married — “oh, come on, now, one of these days someone’s going to come along…” (Catholics would add “…if God wills it”). The mature, sensitive person should realize “their reason for staying single is theirs and theirs alone, it’s not in my place to ask about it, if they want me to know more, they’ll tell me, if it were a topic for discussion, they’d be the one to start the discussion”.I meant that it is sickening to expect a homosexual to get married and have a heterosexual relationship when heterosexual relations may be repulsive to him. Just as a heterosexual may find gay sex repulsive and would not want to engage, so a gay person may find heterosexual sex repulsive. Just because people got married to hide their homosexuality in the past does not mean it should be recommended just because it’s less sinful than homosexual relations.
This is an obvious statement but I’ll say it anyway - only if they are Catholic and want to follow the teaching of the Catholic church.rosejmj:

What? You are making God in your on image. Too many forget God is perfectly just.I only know that an all loving God would not condemn a loving same sex couple.
I’m not, not even a little. You simply don’t like this argument because it shows that you if you can claim homosexual acts are okay if the two people are consenting, the same could be argued for pedophilia.You should be ashamed.
Duly noted.
You see, you even say it yourself. This is an argument I’m sure pedophiles would happily push. Kids are maturing faster, so surely they can consent to sex faster. This will be an argument to lower the age a child can engage in sex. It’s already different in different countries. Some children are extremely intelligent at the age of 10 or 11, probably more intelligent than many adults. Children in some countries work and are independent before they are in their teens. If they can do that, why wouldn’t they be allowed to have sex?The development of children, both bodily and mental is much faster than it used to be. If and when they will become physically and mentally mature enough to consent in a meaningful manner, of course they cease to be “children”, and will be eligible to have sex.
I find it laughable that somebody who supports homosexual relations is trying to take the moral high ground with me. I actually don’t believe you have even tried to understand my argument, you’ve just seen homosexuality and pedophilia mentioned together and become extremely enraged.Duly noted.
Nothing to add to this.… homosexuality and pedophilia mentioned together…
It’s a shame too many people who profess to love God are not.Too many forget God is perfectly just.
Exactly right. That’s what love is.Love, willing good for the other…
It depends on what would be the definition of a child? And how is sexual maturity established? It is very different from being mature and intelligent enough to write computer programs and viruses.The same argument can be made for sexual acts between an adult and a 10 year-old child, if it’s deemed children at that age are, as you put it Abrosz, mentally mature enough at that age to be eligible to have sex. Then a 10-year-old child will not be considered a child anymore, and it will be acceptable.
They will not “ask” anything, they will practice it among each other. Maybe you are familiar with the novel: “The green mare” written by Marcel Ayme.Children in some countries work and are independent before they are in their teens. If they can do that, why wouldn’t they be allowed to have sex?
Would not condemn them for…what?I only know that an all loving God would not condemn a loving same sex couple.
