I don't mean to disagree with you, but did you try looking at their views from their perspective? The way they may have learned about these things was probably different from yours, so they may have been raised to believe these things aren't right.
But... if they're bashing sexualities, and you're bashing them for having a terrible opinion, then you're just as bad because as much as they don't accept them, you don't accept those people.
I'm not saying your opinion on these things is wrong though.
Yes, I have tried understanding their perspective, and they're perfectly entitled to having being raised differently - It's not that I'm concerned about. The simple fact that they can't keep their complaints about someone having different sexual/romantic desires to themselves is a huge pet peeve of mine - You don't walk up to someone and tell them that because they're black, they have a defect, or they're wrong. And should someone being LGBT+ really take away from their personality?
Tbh, people complaining about LGBT stuff is just as cancerous as people telling everyone they are LGBT and the people that complain about complaining.
I honestly dont give a fuck, and I have enough "LGBT" friends that know I don't, and they love it about me. Im just a friend that doesn't treat them any different becuz they're LGBT. Its not on my mind, I don't care.
Goes back to survival of the strongest, people that give up just cuz people call them things is stupid. If they take their life cuz of that, who knows what other reasons they would've found to kill themselves if they werent.
And here's where as a Catholic I'll go run and hide in the corner. And no, we don't believe that being gay is wrong, because we are actually logical, and see how stupid that is.
We just are against acting out in those feelings, just like in any relationship between girls and guys. We are all called to be chaste in life.
Now, as for marriage, I personally think that Catholics should just change it's name to something else, as it is not the same as what most people think. It's one of the seven sacramental pillars of the Church, and even if we wanted to change its meaning, no one on earth has the authority or right to; because we do actually believe that God exists, and in the past 2000 years of tradition and Catholic thought. I could literally write a book explaining it.
And yes, I know a few people who are and Catholic. And you know what? They're perfectly fine with the Church's teaching.
Oh, I should say before people say how backwards I am that I don't give a flying fuck as to what people outside the church do. Or really say, for that matter.
On a side note: one's sexuality does not make a person a person, it's just a side thing. It really doesn't matter in the long run.
I'm not against your religion - As long as you're not actively acting out those stances on homosexual marriage, you and I are going to get along just fine. One's personality isn't made by their religion either
