Homosexuality is a very sensitive issue. Rightly so, it involves a very intimate aspect of humanity for many men and women. The moral position one takes in regard to same-sex attractions either invites homosexuals to love one another romantically or a life of mandated celibacy (or change of sexual orientation for certain fundamentalist Christian groups).
Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, reminded Catholics of the authentic Christian position on the question of marriage and homosexuality. He said in an interview back in 2004, "Above all, we must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand, to create a legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage, in reality, does not help these people."
At present, one U.S. state legally recognized same-sex unions. Two more may join in as California and Connecticut battle it out in their Supreme Courts where judicial activists are legislating from the bench (despite the fact this violates their constitutional powers). The article below shows us what the Holy Father warned us about in regard with the legalization of same-sex "marriage." There are unforseen side-effects that undermine religious liberty and perpetuate moral depravity in secular society.

Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger: An Aggressive Secular Ideology Which Is Worrying
"The obscuring of the difference or duality of the sexes has enormous consequences on a variety of levels. This theory of the human person, intended to promote prospects for equality of women through liberation from biological determinism, has in reality inspired ideologies which, for example, call into question the family, in its natural two-parent structure of mother and father, and make homosexuality and heterosexuality virtually equivalent, in a new model of polymorphous sexuality." - Pope Benedict XVI
