The Catholic church won't accept gay marriage because they can't procreate.
According to the church, its [not] a sin to be gay. It's a sin to [act] gay.
It's not natural. PERIOD
And teaching our children that it is?
Case-in-point: I have 2 friends that watched their daughters struggle in their adolescense with "gay feelings". And because they had gay family members, the teens were "nudged". Both teens have since gone back to their natural genders, and are dating men. Unfortunately one of them had reconstructive surgery.
This is happening more and more in our society! Young people are being "pushed" into major decisions, for what might "have been" just a bump in the road! Its wrong!
I've mentioned here that I have a gay daughter. We let her decide her direction on her own. Unfortunately, there was no shortage of other gays pushing her in that direction! I, and my wife bit our tongues through all of it. out of respect and love. And we are glad that she is happy now. And we love each other dearly.... despite our differences theoloically.
Sterile couples can't procreate. Neither can older couples who get married. What about those who get married but don't want kids?
Are their marriages not real marriages, either?
