Homosexuality!!

My dear reader, I do NOT hate anyone!! I never hate anyone!! But, what I DO hate are the sins everyone commits, even my very own!!  I never judge anyone.  We are not allowed to judge people.  BUT, we are allowed, and it is our duty -- especially of Roman Catholics -- to judge the sin, and that's exactly what I do!! Most people, however, do not seem to know how to separate the sin from the sinner. I do.

Homosexuality, same-sex attraction, is not a sin!! It is a temptation!! BUT, those who act out on such temptations commit a mortal sin!!

Homosexuals claim that they are "born this way"!! Well, no they're not!! They're not born that way any more than we are born knowing how to speak the language that we do. In fact, I don't know if anyone can honestly say that they know what, and how, they felt in the mother's womb and at birth. Do you remember?? I sure don't!!

I do not condemn homosexuals!! It is not my place to condemn people.  BUT, I do condemn their sinful actions. Everyone, homosexuals included, are called to a life of chastity and I strongly encourage chastity!!

Homosexual acts, and unresisted thoughts,  breaks The Sixth Commandment when God Said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery." It is adultery.

I truly care about everyone, homosexuals included because they are PEOPLE!! They are human beings!! Just as I am against homosexual actions, I am also definitely against them getting "bullied"!! In fact, the way bullying is nowadays, that's not bullying!! That's assault and it should be called such!! I am against any kind of violence done to homosexuals because it is done against their person.

Like everyone else, they should be treated with dignity.  They need to have all of the basic necessities of life and should never be deprived of jobs, medical treatment, food, clothing, housing, etc.-- the stuff we all need and/or should have. BUT, they don't have the right to call same-sex "marriage" marriage. Marriage is only between one man and one woman and it is not a right.  It is something that is earned.

We don't need to have "Gay Pride Parades" either. We don't have "Chastity Pride Parades" or "Heterosexual Pride Parades"-- but that might not be a bad idea, especially the chastity one because we can use such an event to promote chastity, which is a very beautiful thing!!

And, the word "gay" has been taken out of proportion.  "Gay" originally means "happy" and I don't know of any homosexuals who are "happy".

There are so many people who quietly suffer from same-sex attractions.  That's a very heavy cross for these beloved people. God bless them for carrying such a cross!! If any of you readers have same-sex attractions and you do your best to resist them, I highly encourage you to continue your fight, no matter how tiresome it gets.  I really admire you for carrying such a heavy cross.  That's commendable!! All homosexuals need to follow your example and resist their temptations, too.

For those of you who resist your same-sex attraction temptations, but fall every-now-and then, pick up your cross and keep doing your best to resist same-sex attractions.  You can do it!!

Same-sex attractions are not a sin, as long as you continue to resist such thoughts.  It becomes a sin when you give into such thoughts and take delight in such thoughts and it becomes a mortal sin when you actually actively engage in such actions. But, God is Always There to forgive you if you ask Him for His forgiveness. If you are Roman Catholic, immediately after you fall into this sin, go to Confession -- the BEAUTIFUL Sacrament!!

There is a Roman Catholic Apostolate, called "Courage", who helps ALL people, regardless of their religion, who suffer from same-sex attraction. Here is the link:  http://couragerc.net/

I pray for the conversion and Eternal Salvation of all homosexuals!! It's not too late to abandon your lifestyle and I highly encourage YOU to do so!! For those of you, who suffer same-sex attraction and who do your best to fight this temptation, God bless you for it!! If I can help you carry your cross in any way, please let me know.  YOU are in my prayers, as well!! KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT!!!
