I have written this reply to CL at least five times. Everytime I try to isolate one quote from her and answer, I end up with the entire quote without my answer being published. It is probably something I did wrong but it is very annoying
Catholic Lady, I used to feel similar to you on the issue of same sex marriage. For reasons that my puny human intellect could not understand, god did not want same sex couples to express their love in the same manner that my husband and I did. That didn't make sense to me but, as a Christian, I accepted it. It wasn't until I lost faith that I realized the mental gymnastics that I had to use in order to retain both my faith and my sense of fairness to same sex couples. Like you, I didn't want the state to forbid same sex couples from marrying but I thought homosexuality was a sin.
