Which are always immoral even if the people/culture doing those things don't believe they are.
Who would "certain people" be? I'm guessing they aren't good Catholics.
Well, that's up for God's judgement. But I'd say a practicing Catholic who knows and understands the Church's teaching on sexuality has much more of a duty to follow those moral standards than other people.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
