God in me says you're wrong.
Hmmmm? My wife says the Devil's in me, but I thought that's because I periodically eat deviled eggs.
Pig pen, you say?
I have been with my partner for over 30 years, in a committed, faithful and loving relationship. Eight years ago, he contracted a particularly pernicious variant of Guillaine-Barre Syndrome (GBS-AMAN), which in the course of one day rendered him paralyzed from the neck down! For 8 1/2 months in hospital, I was there to feed him lunch and dinner every day, despite also having to go to work. I made our home friendly (new bathroom fixtures, etc.) for him, and since he came home, I have been his caregiver -- 365 days every year.
So you think it would have been better for him some other way? Not to have "family" to patiently feed him, but to be speedily and uncomfortably fed by hospital staff? Not to have a loving caregiver, but maybe dumped into some "facility" somewhere?
I'll tell you what -- I think the pig pen is behind your eyes and between your ears.

Read the books that others would burn.
Well, you told them "There is a better way."
When they tell you "Take a hike," what then?

I find it interesting that so many Catholics and evangelicals are so very horrified by committed, monogamous, loving same-sex relationships, when numerically speaking, heterosexual non-marital and extra-marital relationships are far, far more common.

In my experience, the people who claim gay sexual unions are sin, also say that fornication between straights is a sin.

My experience, too. So at least they're consistent in that they believe any extramarital shenanigans to be sinful.
You'd think they'd want to encourage more marriages, then - but they still want to exclude teh gheys...

That's baby steps anyway.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
First of all, I don't personally care what any consenting adults do together. So there's that. Secondly, I am busy enough keeping my own self good to go - I don't feel any burning need to tell other people how to live. Thirdly, the Pope really didn't do anything any different - so I really don't see the point.
