Gay people should be treated with dignity and respect, but their sexual behavior is unnatural and morally illicit. In other words, hate the sin while loving the sinner. That's fair, isn't it?

"They (homosexual persons) must be accepted with respect, compassion, and
sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should
be avoided" (Catholic Catechism, no. 2358) ...

"Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents
homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has
always declared that 'homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.' They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the
gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual
complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved" (Catholic Catechism, no. 2357).

Joanie 2012/06/18 18:19:50No, that's wrong.+15Our sexual behavior is as beautiful, affirming, loving, and natural as heterosexual sexual behavior. Our sexual behavior is not "morally illicit" any more than heterosexual sexual behavior. So "hate the sin while loving the sinner" is nothing more than mental gymnastics for bigots who cannot admit to themselves their own bigotry.






















They also forget that there are millions of same sex families in America already. Are they suggesting they should break these families so that they can remarry someone of the opposite sex. They truly are retarded, and it's just a matter of time before equality wins.
well first off. . . if marriage is so sacred and important. then why do people go and make a mockery of it in Vegas and why is the divorce rate so bad. So obviously they don't take marriage seriously. And second. they have the right to be who they are and marry into a heterosexual partnership. . . because they are heterosexual. Why shouldn't gays have the same equal right to be who they are and marry into a gay relationship. They try so hard to make it confusing when really its not.
And EVEN IF it was some outlandish gay plan to get a "special" right. . . . . so what. . . . what difference does it make to anybody. . . . the only people that are going to do it are gay people and straight people are gonna keep whoring around getting pregnant. . . daddies aren't going to pay the child support. and the divorce rate is going to continue skyrocketing. . . and none of that has anything to do with the gays.
I still have 375 shared questions to go.
The church needs to step out of the dark caves of antiquity and out of biology and deal with religion. Science, information and knowledge has the answers to sexual orientation.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Well said though.
Homosexuality doesn't hurt anyone, so I don't understand why people have a problem with it. We should have more issue with things that truly hurt people. Like religion, unfair taxation, war, and all kinds of injustice. Not harmless homosexuality.
In the United States the District of Columbia and every state, except Rhode Island, have some form of codified incest prohibition.[28] However, individual statutes vary widely. Rhode Island repealed its criminal incest statute in 1989,[28] Ohio only targets parental figures,[28] and New Jersey does not apply any penalties when both parties are 18 years of age or older.[28] Massachusetts issues a penalty of up to 20 years' imprisonment for those engaging in sexual activities with relatives closer than first cousins[28] and Hawaii up to 5 years in jail for "sexual penetration" with certain blood relatives and in-laws.[28]
In all states, close blood-relatives that fall under the incest statutes include father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, and in some states, first cousins, although Rhode Island allows uncles to marry their nieces if they are part of a community, such as orthodox Jews, for whom such marriages are permitted. Many states also apply incest laws to non-blood relations including stepparents, step-siblings, and in-laws.[29]
UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh has questioned the rationale behind laws prohibiting incest, at least as they apply to sex between adults
FACTUAL STATS
"One out of every six boys are molested. Out of that, number, 40% of the molesters of boys are female. 60% of the molesters are homosexual pedophiles, and that makes is roughly so that homosexual pedophiles, are molesting 1 out of every 12 boys (rough estimate,) Considering that gays themselves only make up 3%-10% of the population, the number of homosexuals who molest is huge.'
