Sorry. I’m just a bit confused

As Catholics, we should love everyone, but that doesn't mean we should support their bad decisions. Leviticus is very insightful on this issue.

That's a good question, and I don't have much time to answer right now, but I'll say what I can.

What exactly do you mean by legal bonds and casual relationships? If by legal bonds you mean civil marriage but not a religious service, that too would be unacceptable by the Church. Casual sex is condemned by the Church whether it's homosexual or not.

LGBT people can absolutely love and be loved, but love doesn't always have to consist of sex. People can certainly be friends with people of the same sex and love each other, but they just shouldn't have sex. Also, homosexual feelings are not sinful. Only acting on them (i.e. having sex) is. People homosexual attraction are called to live chaste lives.

As to why, I'll give three reasons:

If you're not Christian...

There are ways that we can arrive at the conclusion that homosexual acts are not moral. Homosexual unions are not natural because they can never result in a child, and one of the most important parts of a marital union is procreation.

If you're Christian...

There are various passages in the Bible that condemn it:
Romans 1:26-27
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
1 Timothy 1:8-11

If you're Catholic...

The catechism condemns homosexual acts in CCC 2357. To get a better explanation of why, I suggest reading CCC 2357-2359. It's less than a page and it's explains why this is what we believe as Catholics.

I hope this was helpful, and I'll happily answer any other questions you have. God bless!

Ok thank you. I am a Catholic. Otherwise I wouldn’t post here. But yes, God Bless

No problem. I figured, but as you saw below, not everyone who talks here is Catholic, so I offered a few reasons

And just to clarify, I know sex between LGBTQ is immoral, but I think that, if both abstained, it would be moral enough. Will be sure to read up the Catechism. Thank you.

What exactly do you mean by that? If they abstained, what would they be doing? Friendships are fine obviously

No. Like, romantic love. It is possible for a married couple to abstain.

Not really...

The context of heterosexual marriage is the only place where the Church approves of sexual relations, and it strengthens their bond and allows them to have kids.

I think what you're asking is whether it would be okay for homosexuals to be in a romantic relationship without having sex. The two main goals of romantic love and marriage and helping each other get to heaven, and procreating. Since homosexuals cannot procreate, romantic love between them is still disordered even if they don't have sex. Does that answer your question?

Yes

Or a couple in general

it is alright to love one another, those are the two commandments, love thy neighbor, and love god. you can't just attempt to reproduce with two people of the same sex.

I'm a lesbian and Catholic sooooo I honestly think the casual part aanx marriage is okie.. But that's just me lol

That’s gotta be really hard oof. Do your parents know?

Yup! Even my dead mom UwU

Your mom died? Oof. Well, if you want you can private chat me and I can help you

It was a long time ago... I still miss her... My dad say I'm just like her and I keep her memory alive

I’m sorry. My dad abandoned me and I only see him 3 times a year

Wow.. That sucks!

Almost as bad as him dying. But yeah he’s not in my life

That sucks..

Eh. At least he takes us on vacations and showers us with gifts. He never did that s**t when he was here

IKR

Hey... At least u get shit from him

Gay marriage is okay. Also two men can love each other. It is okay because it can't harm people.

There is nothing wrong with being gay/having gay marriage.

I was asking from a Catholic point of view, not any other, but thank you for voicing your opinion.

Thanks for not arguing , I've had so many...
