okay, people. lol thx for ur prayers, i'm feeling much better now. x)

well, just a lil insight about my days lately:
i went to jessi's 17th bday bash on sunday. (we had MUCHOS fun. lol)
i got sick monday n tues. (it sucks, guys)
i got a few great marks. (thank YOU, oh, thank YOU, my LORD)

and now.. on again with the gay topic. nyeheheh
so, yesterday - despite d f-ing headache - i had quite a great discussion with my religion teacher. i asked her about gays, the church standing on this issue, etc etc etc. lol and she told me that as far as she knew, catholic church has never really been against the gays.

humm i'm not really sure. so i googled it and found some entries about it.
but before i spare you guys the details, i'll give u a hint about my personal granstanding. lol

well, i'm not an against-gays person. i'm even kinda curious about them, and sometimes i feel pity for them. not bcus of their sex preferences, but.. for the public's reaction. i do kinda believe that every love is beautiful, sacred, and worth-fighting. (idealist and weepy, i know. lol)

*pls note that when i'm talking about gays or homosexuals, i talk only about those with PURE hearts. not those who do this thingy just for fun or out of damn curiosity. NO. i'm talkin bout them who are born with this, and even more specific, those who feel true lurv.

well, i feel sorry that their love is considered abnormal. and i AM confused about what they should do. should they.. marry?? should they.. have sex?? i don't know. i'm still not sure about this one - their future.

i just despise public's hatred and their ignorance. can't we just try to understand their difficulties??

and then came the all-time fave argument, "it's against God's will!"
but why would God create them then?? well, i have two probable theory for this.

first, God created this type of people (with a 'different' sexual orientation) to test them. i mean, it could be an analogy to the handicaps. that they should overcome their weakness and be like the way they should. which is i'm sure TOTALLY difficult. they should deny their nature?? humm. i'm not sure enough.

or second, God created this type of people to show US how to treat and love people equally, to show appreciation, to learn ADJUSTING.

what do u guys think??

well, to offer u a wide reference, i'll quote some sources on this issue.

1. http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_rom.htm
"Comparing Catholic homosexual beliefs with those of other faith groups:
Catholic beliefs are grounded in their concept of natural law. The church once taught that the sole purpose of sex -- and marriage -- was procreation. On this basis, they forbid the use of artificial methods of birth control, and consider sexual intercourse other than that between a husband and wife to be a grave mortal sin. Forbidden practices include masturbation, pre-marital sex, post-marital sex, extra-marital sex and all same-sex behaviors.

Most conservative religious institutions teach that homosexuality is a chosen, and changeable addictive behavior. However, the Roman Catholic church accepts the findings of almost all human sexuality researchers and mental health therapists that a minority of humans have a homosexual orientation that is discovered -- often after puberty. It is not chosen, and is generally not changeable.

They regard homosexual orientation to be unnatural and abnormal. They refer to it as 'objectively disordered. They view homosexual practices as very serious mortal 'sins gravely contrary to chastity'."

humm. quite a contrary to what my religion teacher said, isn't it?? then, what does the church suggest for these people??

Well, the site did say something about this:

The church teaches that there are some forms of discrimination against gays and lesbians which are just. Access to marriage and the formation of sexually active committed non-marital relationships are not options that they believe should be open to gays and lesbians.

Well, well. still not answering my question. i mean, it's not really a medication or a way out, is it?? dun worry though guys. lol i'm writing all this not to contradict my OWN church and belief. i just really wanna kno about it. so i promise u, i'll keep looking for the answers. lol

and here is the quotation from another source; a non-religious source:

2. http://www.slate.com/id/2194232/
"You have all this antagonism against homosexuality because they say it's against nature because it doesn't lead to reproduction. We found out this is not true because homosexuality is just one of the consequences of strategies for making females more fecund."

you should totally check this site out. it's awesome, and it's gonna definitely rock ur boat. lol it explains about how gay men can actually be genetics. well to be more precise, i'll quote the site.

we're not really talking about genes for homosexuality. We're talking about genes for "androphilia," i.e., attraction to men.

this could be a side effect of female evolutions! wow. well, i actually can't explain it right. lol i just give u some hints and bait - here and there, so that u'd check it out for urself. lol

so, people. let's get our brains and hearts doing a lil thinking, shall we?? nyeheheh i'm just really curious and cus of all the excitement, i can't really type it in a nice order. lol pls forgive me and try to enjoy. ;)

muchos lurv. God bless.

signing off.
