What is your logic that leads you to that conclusion, and what is the evidence that proves your logic and reasoning is sound.
Yes it is his decision, again, still not our argument. LOGIC AND EVIDENCE.
Ok, so basically you're not angry that he's celibate, you're angry that he's Catholic.
I guess... uh... sorry?
NO, where did I say I was angry at him for being celibate or Catholic? I was addressing his reasoning, not his rights. If he is doing it FOR himself FOR pragmatic reasons those are real reasons. If he is basing it on an old book of myth, sure he can do that, but WHY?
NO damn, you are talking to a former Catholic so dont go there.
I don't care if he was Muslim, they have lots of people that don't like gays too, they as well use their Quran to justify calling it a "sin". Can you find liberal and moderate Muslims who wont murder them, but still think they shouldn't do it? YES.
But in both cases, my point is WHY are you basing your choices on a book used by others to tell you you are broken? LBGT people don't need that baggage. They have no more or no less problems in their lives than straight people. They don't need to be told they are broken.
I've had problems in my life, and still do today, but if I want to do something about them, I don't need someone with an old book of myth telling me my problems make me bad, my problems only make me human. That teaches people self loathing, it does not correct a problem with real solutions, and no being LGBT is not a "sin". That is a word used by people who don't like what other people do.
Is this too long for you?
