Gay, Catholic and Doing Fine

[Brian37]

How does that fit in with the church's teachings? Wouldn't that entire relationship be a dealbreaker to get into heaven as far as the church is concerned?

Also, why do you think the ideal scenario is a "mom and dad"? There's quite a bit of positive research on that not being the case.

Well first there is no "deal breaker" for getting into heaven. That's not really how it works. It all depends on a person's culpability, and that is something we can't speculate on. We can't say "so and so committed ____ act so they are going to Hell," or anything like that. 

I do agree with the Church that the ideal scenario for a child is to have a mom and a dad. But between staying in the orphanage/foster homes and having same sex parents, I'd pick the latter for sure, and I don't doubt for a minute that they can't be good parents. 

I've heard studies and testimonials of both claims being made (about what family structure is better), so in the end I think it becomes a matter of opinion and which stance makes the most sense to you.

No, there are apologists bullshit "studies" and there is the professional medial/psychological field.

1975 THE EXPERTS  stopped calling it a disorder. AND the experts today are saying gays are not suffering because they are gay, when they suffer it is because of YOUR FUCKING IGNORANCE!
