That's true, I agree. But let's face. The Pope nor the church will never accept gay relationships. Sounds absurd. And that's the reason why many gays are unhappy. Because this society is teached to get ashamed of gays, to reject them.

As Queen said in The Miracle...
That time will come, one day you'll see.. when we can all be friends.

Catholics are weird (I should know, I'm one of them). The same Church that is anti-war and anti-poverty manages to also be pro-stupid. This is probably why Catholics in America are evenly split politically.

What could I possibly tell you that you couldn't imagine ? Jersey numbers ?



Perhaps locations, positions, measuremnets ?

It's all pretty basic stuff, I assure you. Although I suppose at this juncture that there is a certain exotic quality to locker rooms, tents, and the woods of Oregon in the 1980's........ah, memories

well actually one year when I was in high school I didn't want to go to our family Christmas thing - in which my uncle dresses up as Santa and then makes all the "big kids" tell him what they want after the little kids....big "joke" every year and I hate it....

Well that year my mom was like, "You have to go..." And I said, "fine. So when Uncle F. asks me what I want for Christmas I'm going to tell him I want a big ole Lesbian girlfriend....!" That totally freaked me mom out (the thought that I might do that) but alas - I was forced to go anyway - and managed to sneak out when Santa arrived....

It has never affected me, can't say anyone I know can validly claim their marriage would be affected. I just don't see the problem. Imagine preaching equality and then adding an aerstick saying, but not for the "gay, black, jew, woman..." As for homosexuality being a sin, well the church is so hypocritical about everything I basically just ignor them...I would almost bet that most of their priests are gay, and then their relationship with the alter boys, well thats beyond...btw have they ever actually sent any of these priests to prision or does the church just shelter their own?

Right on - me too I want ONE, just ONE good, logical reason (that has NOTHING to do with religion) as to why same-sex marraige is such an abbhorent thing....no one can give you that.....there are no answers because this whole thing is based on fear, hatred and ignorance...
