This is a well-crafted and very coherent essay, and therefore it was very hard to capture the essence of it is a 300-word excerpt. Please follow the link and read the whole thing, would you?
Class discuss.
(My verdict: it's excellent.)

What a great article. I can’t believe it was published in the quasi-MSM.

There are alcoholic, drug-abusing, adulterous, bigoted, kleptomaniac and prideful sinners who are Catholic, why not homosexual? Sin is sin.

“I figured, everybody has to sacrifice something. God doesn’t promise that He’ll only ask you for the sacrifices you agree with and understand.”
This used to be a common understanding among Christians. No longer.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I used to avoid churches because I thought they were filled with arrogant, sanctimonious, hypocritical sinners.
Then it occurred to me that I fit right in with that crowd.

This is the exact type of person Pope Francis was referring to when he said “if they are seeking God, who am I to judge?”

Not too long ago I was enjoying a social occasion with a dear friend. I was so happy for her company, for the time together, and her friendship
then some moron asked me if we were "partners."
Has this happened to anyone else?
I mean, my whole evening was spoiled. I was so embarrassed. Had I done something ugly to make people think that we were lesbians? I have been self-conscious about this ever since.
And it did not dispose me any better toward the gay agenda.
At least this guy gets it. We love our friends. There is nothing sexual about it.

Well, funny thing, you are right! Sin is sin, repentance is repentance, conversion is conversion.
Tagline.

Love it. So true.

:: Right now, the Biblical witness seems pretty clear. .
Both opposite-sex and same-sex love are used, in the Bible, as images of God’s love. ::
Absolutely and completely wrong. As a matter of fact, damnably wrong...loss of salvation wrong.
What homosexuals engage in is best described as sodomy. God does not sodomize His creation and call it love.

Gay Christian? Is that not an oxymoronic use of words?

I've always heard that church is a hospital for the sinner, not a club for the perfected.
Trouble is that too many sinners have political correctness on their side and would rather drag the church down with them than take advantage of the hospital treatments offered.

GOSHDARNIT, CLETUS!!
YOU DIDN'T READ THE ARTICLE!
She is not justifying sodomy, she's saying why she's against sodomy. She does not at any point imply that sodomy could be part of Christian friendship!
She's chaste. Without evidence, you've judged her otheerwise. I hope you're properly abashed.
Now go back and read the article.

No. She is same-sex attracted, which is how she is using the word "gay." But she is single, abstinent, chaste.
It's like being "a Christian and a dry alcoholic." You still have an appetite. You don't indulge in it anymore.
