@reasoning logic,
But homosexuals do not all do the same things or take the same parts. One has to keep William Burroughs and Jean Genet in mind.
It is perfectly normal for a lot of people in certain circumstances to be Nazi and officials in extermination camps. It used to be not only perfectly normal but the cool thing to do to watch Christians being tortured to death in a stadia. Thousands gather in some places to see people hung, drawn and quartered and go about for months or even years with the body parts sticking up on buildings.
What is normal? Normal is a way of behaving that best promotes the success of the social group. And that is what the Church peddles and nothing else. And it is what any intelligent person would expect it to peddle.
It also tolerates certain types of unusual behaviour because it is aware of the value for progress they have.
What is the value for progress of the promotion of homosexuality and of homosexuals getting "married".
Give it a shot rl. It will make a change. The focus on your opponent's asserted faults is a white feather job because you make up the faults and because it takes the onus off you of answering my question.
What exactly are the similarities between a bloke having a male spouse and a female one. The latter has a hymen, which the Church teaches to be very selective, for a start, as females do in nature. And she risks being burdened for life with the fortunes of the brats her loins have spawned.
How can anybody, except a complete fool, be seen to be agitating, in seriously emotional ways, to have the two states covered by the same designation? Their only point of similarity is the attention seeking wedding festivities and a bride is deserving of it, a proper bride I mean, and a bloke's male partner deserves no more than any bloke, and that's a kick up the arse.
Do you eat chalk? Do you mark out sports-fields with cheese?
The whole point of the Church is to put the handbrake on hysterical fads while the implications of institutionalising them is carefully considered.
