We have talked about this issue on this website before. Especially when Pope Francis mentioned how he supported same sex unions granted by the state. Being the libertarian that I am, I have also contemplated this issue as well. Do I believe that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is a mortal sin? You bet I do. It is one of those things that God despises the most. Possibly more so than adultery. It is probably one of the top 5 mortal sins that offends God.

However, should we make it against the law with consequences? And I am referring to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity in general. I definitely agree that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs should not have any positions of power nor should they be represented in the media in any kind of way. This being because I don't want their presence to influence other people. But should their lifestyle be banned, by law, entirely? I am not so sure. But then again I am not completely against banning it either. I just need to see some more convincing arguments.

It seems to me that even if we were living in a completely Catholic state that we simply could not make every single mortal sin punishable by law. We are all sinners and we would all go to jail or suffer capital punishment one time or another. So how could you justify picking and choosing which mortal sins to ban when all mortal sins lead to death? Do you only ban the ones that offend God the most? The most abominable ones?

I am not trying to justify ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ marriage. I just know that some on this site would agree that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity should be punishable by death. Under this same logic, what about adultery, murder, etc.? Why is ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity so much worse than some of those things in our society?

Why exactly should ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ unions be banned by a Catholic government? Should all mortal sins be baned by a Catholic government?

I think what you're really asking is "should sodomy be against the law?"

You mention "same-sex marriage" several times, but not allowing ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ marriage is not a punishment, but rather the absense of a benefit. It mostly has to do with whether or not they are entitled to claim themselves as a married couple in respect to government programs such as Social Security.

Your views are the epitome of what is wrong with libertarianism. Yes there should be laws regarding abortion, pornography, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ sodomy, gambling, divorce, adultery, etc. and this is because we as Catholics should support a moral society. Now we can't make Heaven here on Earth of course, but we can make our laws coincide with Natural Law and God's Law.

ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is unnatural, sickening, causes sickness and disease within our society, etc. and has been the downfall of every society like Weimar Germany and Rome. For the record I also support the death penalty for cold-blooded murder, rape and drug dealing.

By the way there is no such thing as "same-sex marriage" since sodomites and fairies have a sterile, but perverse relationship without children.

Unless they adopt which they do.

My opinion will not be popular, but no, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ acts in private between adults should not be illegal. They are immoral, but in a non-confessional state they are not the governments business.
