Doesn't 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 basically call homosexuals criminals and equate them on the same level as prostitutes, thieves, drunkards, and liars? Every gay person I'v meet are attracted to the same sex in exactly the same way a straight person is attracted to the opposite sex. I don't understand why a loving god would punish people for feeling this way. |
Homosexual offenders, aka people who commit homosexual acts. Notice how he references male prostitutes right before? That's what he's referring to when he writes that passage.
As for marriage, the reason a male Christian cant marry a fellow man or woman marry a woman is because it wont result in a baby. Marriage = babies. At least for Catholics, I'm sure those crazy protestants have come up with all kinds of other stuff 
If a homosexual wants to become a Christian then the reality is they are going to have to live a chaste life. Just like many Christians do, and many homosexual Christians do.
On the other hand, as a Catholic, I am not against law makers making homosexual marriages legal. Why? Because not everyone believes what I do, but if you want to be a Christian then tough luck. I'm not someone who goes around crapping on other people's beliefs regardless of how I feel about them (unless it's something truly horrible like child molesting or rape etc yes yes Catholic priest joke ).
