It's not my cup a tea myself but that's rather a draconian outlook to have in this day of age.
For the record, i really could not care where someone sticks their tallywhacker as long as they are consenting adults and its nowhere near my arse. LoL
Takes all sorts to make the world spin Doctor Smith and people cannot help who they are attracted to as it's apparently not a choice.
Surely any benevolent god would realize that fact?
Anyhoo what's Churchs got to do with sexuality in the first place?
I don't remember shafting coming up much if im honest.

Yea its definitely better if a priest can marry. However, it's still a bit sad that we get our morals from books written by ancient men who saw women as lesser, condoned slavery, and stoned gays to death.
I think it's about time for a new religion.

And for the record I don't approve of Homosexual marriage. It goes against the Bible. Marriage is a contract between a male and female in order to have children. Sex is a biological urge to produce children. If you have an attraction to your own sex you have some type of physical or mental disorder.
If you want to deviate from the Churches teachings you shouldn't be forcing the Church to sanction it.
do you wear mixed fabrics, work on a sunday, eat pork, have sex which is non procreational?
there are a lot of rules in the bible, some that make no sense in this day and age, but it seems cherry pickingt eh ones that suit seems to be always in vogue with bible readers

Well, that's just it though, gay people cannot help how they feel towards one another.

So if indeed they manage to find someone they love that they wish to share the rest of their life with.
Why would they waste their precious time wondering whether or not God or the church was ok with their lifestyle choices?
I don't know how you have gotten on to possessions Doctor Smith, people are not possessions even if the Bible does suggest Women are chattel and slavery is an appropriate state to exist for some.

After literally years, a really worthwhile and interesting thread on ATS. Thank you OP.
I wish people had discussed the political angle more, really. That's what all this is about. And while you're focusing on the US, Latin America is just as important.
