That is not the problem that ignited this firestorm.

I agree, but from a Christian perspective....is living together any worse of a sin than homosexuality?

Far be it from me to answer for anyone else but the sin of heterosexual cohabitation can be regularized by marriage, the sin of homosexuality cannot be regularized by anything other than its cessation.

From my pastoral experience, I can tell you that a couple living together approaching the Church for marriage is a pastoral opportunity but that homosexuals approaching the Church for marriage is not.

Heterosexuals living together are far more likely to repent of their error once properly catechized. Homosexuals are not.

“Living together” is not the transgression that homosexual marriage is. That’s approaching abomination-time. The hetero couple can get legitimately married; two men cannot. Besides, putting the words “two years together” can mean anything. A wedding cake has only one meaning.

If you run a business any business you are going to serve or interact with sinners on a daily basis. We are all sinners. But that does not mean you are affirming anything.
If they come into my business and as drug addicts ask me to supply drugs I am going to refuse. If the ask me as alcoholics to provide alcohol and I going to say sorry not happening. If the come in to my business and ask me to participate and affirm a homosexual marriage I am going to say not happening ever...............
