Then why aren't Catholic priests llowed to marry? Are they supposed to have a relationship only with God? Also, Christianity preaches that you should be ashamed of sex. If they wanted people to reproduce why would they make them fear reproduction?
Is it because homosexuals are a minority, and humans naturally despise who isn't following the herd? Does religion preach against homosexuality so that it could attract the majority?
because they are all hungry for cock but feel guilty about it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

For some reason, everyone focuses on the gay, gay, gay, gay, gay. They forget that Christian teaching prohibits all manner of fornication - anything outside a sacred bond. It really doesn't discriminate between impermissible homosexual and heterosexual relationships.
And it's not even all about sex but includes keeping one's word, caring for one's relatives, etc. It also extends into concerns about Man's social structures and people's obligations to their communities. But none of that matters to shameless people who only obsess about having other people affirm their sexual proclivities.
CL, I would however add a note of caution about relying too heavily on natural law. All of creation, including human nature, has been corrupted by sin and as such what appears to be natural, even among animals, is not necessarily as God intended it to be. Without some special revelation, natural reason alone could easily lead astray.

Im not sure what you mean. The OP asked why we believe homosexual actions are not moral. I was answering her question.
The Catholic Church is changing its (her) tune on this one; stay tuned!

God has issues.
Oh yeah, the creator of man has issues, you are hilarious. Who would know better than the one who created us.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say Christianity teaches us to be ashamed of sex lol. I'm certainly not. I think people (in and out of the church) confuse the notion of keeping sex sacred with being ashamed of it.
Nowhere on This page do I find the word sacred.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Because of Adam and Eve. Or perhaps because reproduction is associated with a miracle given by God. So by having sex with the same genre, you are rejecting this miracle.

CL cannot explain why the Catholic Church is beginning to change its position on homosexuality:
