And for some stupid reason, Steve shuts up and waits. He stays still, scared to even breathe, trying to calm the speed to which his heart beats.
All because Eddie keeps a hand on his chest, holding him in place.

For queer Catholics, this icon of Mary is a reminder that her loving care and protection extends to all her children.
would you be able to speak about “side A” and “side B” of the homosexual debate in RC? i’ve never heard of this. im in RCIA right now and struggle with the teachings of the Church on lgbt issues. i’m bisexual and closeted trans— and these issues are what have led me away from the church time after time…
If you didn't already see it, I made a post explaining the "side A" and "side B" theological positions here, and for a more in depth explanation you can access this Wikipedia page.
To explain simply, side A Christians believe that people who experience same-sex attraction (e.g. gay, bi, pan, otherwise queer people) bring valuable diversity to the faith, are not uniquely sinful due to their attraction and should be allowed to explore that attraction in the same way heterosexuals do. Meanwhile Side B Christians, while they acknowledge that sexual orientation isn't something that can be changed, they believe that pursuing same-sex attraction is uniquely sinful as compared to the hetrosexual counterpart and that queer people who don't experience any attraction to the opposite sex are called to lifelong celibacy.
The reason this isn't much talked about within Roman Catholicism is because this isn't supposed to be something Roman Catholics are in disagreement on, as the Church's position on homosexuality is outlined in the Catechism (the official written compilation of all Church doctrine). The Catechism states that people who experience "homosexual tendencies" should be treated with respect and shouldn't be discriminated against, but that homosexual sex or sexual activities are sinful and therefore homosexuals should remain celibate. This would make the Roman Catholic church officially Side B.
However, there are a lot, and I mean a lot of Catholic laypeople, and indeed on the ground clergy in many cases, that diverge from official church teaching on this. A study published in February by the Pew Research Centre showed that 70% of American Catholics are in favour of gay marriage, making them the most accepting Christian denomination in the US along with mainline Protestants.
So I hope that explains everything you wanted to know! I know it's hard to be Catholic when the Church's teachings are against us, and I can imagine it's especially hard right now to be in explicitly unaffirming RCIA classes, but there are many more queer Catholics than people think, and more people within the Church that are on our side than it might at first appear.
For nearly four decades, English-speaking Catholics have quoted the Vatican on a sentence it never actually wrote. I speak here of Section 1
A long but excellent article for my fellow Bs, though I would encourage my beloved Side A friends to give it a read too. I had no idea about the missing word in the English translation until I read this article!
i need to see more of these pov you met jesus videos but where the person just gets visibly gayer instead. i can't take this anymore. where are the folks that stopped lying to themselves the moment they met christ. or vice versa. their true self revealed christ to them. it's what happened to me. the moment i was fully honest with myself about who i am was the moment i felt closest to him. it was the first moment i was genuinely able to communicate with him. and i have felt that closeness ever since. my transness only strengthens my relationship with god. it is not a wall between us. it is a bridge. and i know i'm not the only one.

hi! i'm nettie. i'm catholic, lesbian, and just getting back into the faith.
my family converted to catholicism when i was 8, i came out to myself as lesbian when i was 17, and i'm 22 now. i flirted with atheism these past 5 years, but always cried in mama mary's lap (see: praying the hail mary in any time of distress) and asked st. anthony to help me find things.
i'm somewhere between side A and side B, as in: i think that teaching that homosexual sex is an abomination is Bad and Evil and Wrong. and would make baby jesus cry. and has little to no basis in the bible. but since it Is taught that homosexual sex is such... i can't go against the church teachings until they're revised. these feelings/thoughts may change, as they so often do.
i'm contemplating religious life, and i want to be a flower in mother mary's crown. :] i'm also a nanny by trade.
