I do not stand in judgment of Teresita’s lifestyle. I have had gay friends and acquaintances and never had a problem with them. One of my best friends, a cousin of mine, is gay, and he was the best man at my wedding 20 years ago end of this August. I take an agnostic view of it, since what science and scientific research I’ve read about it suggests that overwhelmingly this is an issue of identity, not a “lifestyle choice.” Something strange happens in utero in combination with perhaps what a virus does. And so, because as an intelligent Catholic and schooled in the Jesuit tradition of listening to what God might be saying through creation I can only conclude that there are variances in the created order which somehow serve God’s mysterious purposes. Mind you, my view is not the majority opinion and I certainly do not speak for the Church. I speak for myself and my own conscience in these matters.

Islam is a completely retrograde, savage, dualistic death cult. What it does to gay people, and to women, and to children – aside from what it does to us kafirs – is repulsive, reprehensible, and reprobate.
