The Homo Church

Why is the Catholic Church so anti-gay?

That has confused me from day one. In case you haven't noticed, especially non-Catholics, the Church is FULL of homos. The Church is a homo-organization. There are more homos in the Church than there are in most gay bars on a Saturday night.

Why gay men join the Church is beyond me. That's like black people joining the KKK.

So these gay men, whom I believe join the Church because they have been tought to hate themselves, join an organization that teaches intolerance, hatred and bigotry towards gays as a way of self punishment and "penance"? Perhaps.

The problem is this, you cannot change yourself. You are what you are. I believe whether you are gay or straight is a matter of genetics. It certainly isn't a choice. And since it is the way you were made, the Church should accept it as the way God made you for it must have a purpose and be good.

Who the hell would choose to be gay? First, you would have to choose before you even know much about life or sex. Second, you would have to choose a way of life that you already know is not popular or tolerated. You've heard the jokes, jeers and insults, yet you would have to choose it anyways. And third, you would have to choose to be a target of those insults and even violence or live a life of secrecy and self-denial. Now, how many people would deliberately choose that? Wouldn't you want to be "normal" and accepted instead?

I know I did not choose it. It is what I am. It is how I was born. I knew it before I even knew what it was and before I even understood sex. And I believe that it is that way for everyone. Straight people do not go "gay" and gay people do not go straight. With that said, some gay people choose to act straight because they're ashamed and in denial. But in the end, it will catch up with you and you must come to terms with it and accept it or it will devour you and you will never be truly happy. You cannot deny something that fundamental to your being without ill effect in the long run. I have seen it proven over and over again. It might take years but it will happen and the false house you build will come crashing down. I have seen it happen so many times, it's not funny at all, it's tragic and it ruins people's lives. How many gay men have a story about that 'straight' married guy?

Now, back to the homo Church. I believe these self-hating gay men join the Church as a means of denial and because of guilt, based on their beliefs. However, in the end, it does catch up to them and it manifests itself in many ways.

They may become vehement anti-homosexuals. If they can't have it, nobody can and they will not accept something they can never have and can never accept of themselves. They turn it into evil, into something abhorent and equate it to pedophilia, bestiality and the downfall of civilization as we know it. The acceptance of two gay people as a loving couple is like accepting Satan as your lord and master.

Or their denied and repressed impulses may become magnified and turned into perverted needs that some then take out on those they can maniplate, the young. Remember, little girls have nothing to fear from the Catholic Church, only boys.

Or, more commonly, they act on their sinful impulses outside the Church anyways, only to come back and preach against them on Sunday. How many gay men have a story about some guy in a seminary they met in a secret place? More than you think.

These men may become victims of alcohol or some other self-abusive practice as a way to deal with their unhappiness and unacceptance of that which they cannot change no matter how hard they try. For they know it is really true, they are really gay.

Not all priests are gay. Most of them are but not all of them. Why a man of God would choose to join such a bigoted and intolerant organization is beyond me but some priests are straight and the Church simply justifies a point of view they may already have.

There are moderate priests who may believe they can change the Church to accept homosexuality as the way some people are, and thus bring upon themselves some sort of acceptance. They would have better luck changing the rotation of the Earth but I guess they feel they have to try.

I went to Catholic schools and I know my gay-dar was going off way more than it should have among many of the brothers that taught us. There was no way I was going to be an altar boy. While many altar boys never have anything happen to them, I always felt vulnerable because I was always obvious and afraid it could be exploited. Straight men have no gay-dar and are thus oblivious many times, but mine was ringing loud many many times.

It's not just that they were gay but there was something wrong with their "gayness". Like it was an angry gay, an ugly gay, a scary gay. I think that's when I began to question the Church. That's when a hypocrisy began to be visible. This isn't the word of God, it's the word of sick men, self-hating men. If they can turn this into faith, what else is a pile of crap?

Well, hopefully you enjoyed the spectacle of the pomp and circumstance at the Vatican lately. I tell you these guys can put the Birdcage to shame with those robes, hats and jewelry. Only fags can create that much of a spectacle.
